Whats with Bill Gates?

No he is alright of cours , he spends Milllons on Media to obscure why he keeps the patents .....

if you dont think Bill ates is good and awsome , those millions would have been wasted , so please inthe name of the most influencal Patent holder for third World Country illnesses ...

he is good , No really! Have you read the papers he pays...

The question was about whether a billionaire had done anything good.

Agreed - he is somewhere between a shitty husband or a monster, but he definitely has helped rid the world of some bad diseases, and his charities continue to do quite a bit of good around the world.

Paywall, login popup shite. I hate websites like this.

That article is much ado about nothing. He knew Epstein and met him occasionally. So did every other billionaire and politician. Unlike some other of Epstein's associates, there's nothing to suggest Gates indulged or was even aware of Epstein's excesses.
