Billionair and Microsoft CEO Bill Gates has vowed to donate all his wealth and leave the list of the world's richest people.

He announced that he would give away $20b to his fund, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
A few days ago, he tweeted that it was his "obligation" to return his "resources to society". He mentioned that he wanted to use his money to reduce suffering and improve lives.
In the continued thread, he added: "I plan to give virtually all of my wealth to the foundation."
He said that he would "eventually move down" from the list of the world's wealthiest people.
