Bill Gates Reveals How Much of His Over $100 Billion Net Worth His 3 Kids Will Inherit When He Dies — Here's the Shocking Number


Bill Gates has revealed how much money his three kids — daughters Jennifer and Phoebe, plus son Rory, whom he shares with ex-wife Melinda French Gates — will inherit after his death. He explained on a podcast that he will leave a very small percent of his fortune to his children, but it will still amount to a huge financial sum.

While appearing on an episode of the Figuring Out with Raj Shamani podcast, the Microsoft co-founder, 69, explained that he will leave a very small percent of his fortune to his three children, but it will still amount to a huge financial sum. “In my case, my kids got a great upbringing and education, but [they will get] less than 1 percent of the total wealth, because I decided it wouldn’t be a favor to them," Bill — who shares daughters Jennifer, 28, and Phoebe, 22, plus son Rory, 25, with ex-wife Melinda French Gates — said. When asked specifically if Jennifer, Rory or Phoebe had ever shared their disappointment that the majority of their father's massive fortune would not be theirs, Bill said, "You don't want your kids to ever be confused about your support for them and your love for them."
