The plan is to distribute up to 99% of his total net worth by December 31st, 2045, which is when the Gates Foundation will be closed down. The total amount given away through the Foundation is expected to be around $200 billion over the next 20 years when you include his personal wealth, the Foundation's existing endowment, and earnings from ongoing business investments. That money will be spent on various charitable projects around the world.
On Bloomberg's list of the world's richest billionaires, Bill Gates currently ranks in 5th place with an estimated net worth of $108 billion.
