Bill Gates plans to give away his wealth and drop off the world’s richest people’s list, see where he ranks on the tech Billionaires list.

Tech Billionaire Bill Gates has renewed his pledge to give away his wealth as he feels obligated to return resources to society. To start, he will be donating $20 billion to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in July 2020.

However, while his net worth would take a significant hit, he will still easily retain his position in the list of top 10 richest people. Likely, he will give away more to achieve the goal he first set in 2010.

“As I look to the future, I plan to give virtually all of my wealth to the foundation. I will move down and eventually off of the list of the world’s richest people,” Gates said.

So, where does he currently rank in the list of the world’s richest people in tech?
