I highly doubt he gave it all away. It's like that episode of Cheers- You know Robin Colcord has the money belt stashed somewhere lol.

Still laugh at his story when he got pulled over with an open bottle of vodka and because he blew the highest number the cop had ever seen the cop gave him a high five and sent him on his way to the next bar where as always he was greeted with a standing ovation for all the drinks and tips he threw around the night before.

if he wanted to be productive and help others, he should have opened a business and hired people. keep himself busy and provide jobs.

If I remember, he's still in process of selling his 2 big properties. At any rate, his wish for a simpler lifestyle is admirable......the more things you have the more they own you!

Bill Gates does more good for this world than probably any one else living in it.
