Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 65, has announced he is stepping down from the board to focus on philanthropic endeavours.
He says he wants to focus on global health and development, education, and tackling climate change.
One of the world’s richest men, he founded the company 45 years ago and stepped down from his day-to-day role running the business in 2008, though he remained on the board.
Gates is also stepping down from his position on the board of holding Berkshire Hathaway, ‘to dedicate more time to philanthropic priorities including global health and development, education, and my increasing engagement in tackling climate change’ he said in a statement on LinkedIn.
Mr Gates said Microsoft would ‘always be an important part of my life’s work’ and he would continue to be engaged with its leadership.

But he said: ‘I am looking forward to this next phase as an opportunity to maintain the friendships and partnerships that have meant the most to me, continue to contribute to two companies of which I am incredibly proud, and effectively prioritise my commitment to addressing some of the world’s toughest challenges.’
According to Forbes, Mr Gates is the second richest man in the world behind Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, with a net worth of $103.6 billion (£82bn).
He made his fortune through developing software for the personal computer.
As a young man, he dropped out of college and moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he set up Microsoft with his childhood friend, Paul Allen, who died in 2018.
The pair’s big break came in 1980 when Microsoft signed an agreement with IBM to build the operating system that became known as MS-DOS.
Microsoft went public in 1986 and within a year Bill Gates become the youngest self-made billionaire at age 31.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said: ‘It’s been a tremendous honour and privilege to have worked with and learned from Bill over the years.
‘Bill founded our company with a belief in the democratising force of software and a passion to solve society’s most pressing challenges. And Microsoft and the world are better for it.
The board has benefited from Bill’s leadership and vision. And Microsoft will continue to benefit from Bill’s ongoing technical passion and advice to drive our products and services forward.’
She added: ‘I am grateful for Bill’s friendship and look forward to continuing to work alongside him to realise our mission to empower every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more.

This is not the Bill Gates I remember growing up with. This has to be a clone or he’s been reprogrammed to better carry out the Elite’s plan.
He didn’t step down. He must be part of the unsealed indictments that is happening all around us. In the last two months alone nearly every CEO of the top fortune 20 companies in the world have resigned at unprecedented numbers.
they re either being threatened or they are going to pop up sometime soon.
Exactly!

Did you type this rant on your PC?
Look up Event 201 and know after watching it that he holds the patients to many of these disease vectors and their vaccines. Speaking of his great work how many Africans died and were rendered sterile due to his foundations poison vaccines. He pretends to be a man of the people yet he has his hands in everyone’s pockets at every turn. One seriously evil creature. A wolf in a sheep’s sweater. All you have to do is ask yourself why this guy rushes to market faulty OS when ones already in place are bulletproof. He has a back door to almost every computer on the planet. When he needs a few hundred more billion he just stops supporting the older systems and jams another spyware ridden slow as hell piece of crap down our throats. He pushes vaccines on your children yet never had his own kids vaccinated. Time to wake up and understand that all of the people using foundations are doing it do dodge tax laws and launder money back into their own pockets. He essentially writes himself a check for a few billion through his foundation.
Exactly, he belong on the list of dangerous parasite elite. His time is coming to pay for all what he have done under false charity donation.His father was also an pro eugenic solution for the planet, and bill solution was to inject Africans children with a death liquid to erase the hunger and reduce the population for his well being.
