Gates, who accumulated his wealth as a co-founder of Microsoft in 1975, has committed to a monumental philanthropic mission.

He intends to utilize the entire $200 billion endowment of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to combat diseases and alleviate poverty, with the goal of closing the charity by 2045.

During the in-depth discussion with 9News, Gates expressed his vision for the future, saying, “I hope when people read about malaria in the future, they’ll wonder, ‘What was that?’ The same goes for polio.”

He emphasized the importance of advocacy, adding, “I think it’s up to people in the field to convey to society just how disruptive this could be.”

“I know it’s not an easy thing to implement. I think it’s a favour to the world that you’ll study,” he said.
