The odd jobs of Bill Gates' children
During the TV show This Morning Today also Bill Gates has shown himself, in the past, on the same wavelength as the two actors: the entrepreneur has declared that he will leave most of his assets (95%) in beneficence, precisely to the foundation that bears his name and that of his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, excluding the children Jennifer, Phoebe e Rory John. “My children will receive a good education and enough money to not have financial difficulties, but they will have to build their own career.
