돈은 일정 수준 이상으로 나에게 유용하지 않습니다.
Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point. 
그것의 유용성은 전적으로 조직을 구축하고 세계에서 가장 가난한 사람들에게 자원을 제공하는 데 있습니다.
Its utility is entirely in building an organization and getting the resources out to the poorest in the world.

Bill Gates는 소프트웨어 회사인 Microsoft에서 얻은 재산을 무탄소 에너지에 대한 투자를 포함하여 다각화된 자산으로 전환했습니다.

Bill Gates turned his fortune from software firm Microsoft into diversified holdings including investments in zero-carbon energy.

 

 

2021년 5월 빌 게이츠와 멜린다 게이츠는 각각 트위터를 통해 27년 만에 결혼 생활을 마감한다고 발표했습니다. 

그들은 여전히 ​​자선 게이츠 재단의 공동 의장입니다.

In May 2021, Bill and Melinda Gates each announced on Twitter they were ending their marriage after 27 years.

They still co-chair the charitable Gates Foundation.

 

 

1975년 폴 앨런(2018년 사망)과 함께 마이크로소프트를 공동 설립한 게이츠는 이혼 합의의 일환으로 최소 60억 달러 상당의 공개 기업 주식을 멜린다에게 양도했다.

Gates, who cofounded Microsoft with Paul Allen (d. 2018) in 1975, transferred at least $6 billion worth of shares in public companies to Melinda as part of the divorce settlement.

 

 

게이츠가 마이크로소프트 이사회에서 물러난 2020년 3월 기준으로 그는 소프트웨어 및 컴퓨팅 회사 주식의 약 1.3%를 소유하고 있었다.

As of March 2020, when Gates stepped down from the Microsoft board, he owned about 1.3% of the software and computing company's shares.

 

 

그는 Republic Services 및 Deere & Co.를 포함한 수십 개의 회사에 투자했으며 미국에서 가장 큰 농지 소유자 중 하나입니다.

He has invested in dozens of companies including Republic Services and Deere & Co., and is one of the largest owners of farmland in the U.S.

 

 

현재까지 Gates는 2022년 7월에 발표된 200억 달러 기부를 포함하여 Gates Foundation에 590억 달러 이상을 기부했습니다. 그의 초기 기부금 대부분은 Microsoft 주식 선물이었습니다.

To date, Gates has donated more than $59 billion to the Gates Foundation, including a $20 billion gift announced in July 2022. Most of his early donations were gifts of Microsoft stock.

 

 

Gates가 어렸을 때 그는 독서에 너무 많은 시간을 보냈기 때문에 그의 부모는 마침내 그가 식탁에 책을 가져오는 것을 금지했습니다.

When Gates was a kid, he spent so much time reading that his parents finally forbade him from bringing books to the dinner table.

 

 

Gates는 워싱턴 주 노스 보네빌에 있는 발전소에서 친구 Paul Allen과 프로그래밍을 하기 위해 고등학교 3학년 때 수업을 쉬었습니다.

Gates took a break from classes his senior year in high school to do programming with his friend Paul Allen at a power plant in North Bonneville, Washington.
