How much income Bill Gates make in a one day

  • You might best remember Bill Gates for hisamazing chair leaping skills. If not, maybe you know him as the founderof Microsoft a position which happens to have made him the second richest person in theworld.
  •  And while some people have a lot of money,Gates' fortune is something else, sitting at $103 billion as of 2019. To get a thought of just what proportion money Gateshas, Business Insider calculated that his salary per second would be $380, pointingout that it literally wouldn't be worth his time to pick up a $100 bill lying on the ground.
  •  Using that figure, which was calculated basedon what proportion his wealth increased between 2018 and 2019, Gates' salary would begin toabout $1.37 million an hour, and about $32.8 million a day. 
  • For further perspective, the same articlestates that the average American spending one dollar would be the equivalent of Gatesspending $1.06 million.
  •  If he wrote you a million-dollar check itwould feel like a collect phone call to him, and he could write million-dollar checks everyday for the next 285 years before running out of money.
  •  He could also give everyone in the world $10and still have over $30 billion left over. Don't get the incorrect idea about Gates, though,because the guy is about as charitable because the mega-rich can get. 
  • He has donated over 27 percent of his networth to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which comes out to a total of about $35.8billion. That's more money than any human has everdonated to charity.
  •  According to its website, the Bill and MelindaGates Foundation focuses on: "...improving people's health and giving themthe chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty." 
  • So how exactly is Gates working to improvehealth and decrease poverty around the world? Well… with toilets. According to the World Health Organization,around 2.3 billion people lack access to basic sanitation and plumbing. 
  • That's a lot of human waste that isn't beingproperly disposed of, and it can cause some very serious issues contaminating soil andbodies of water which might be used for drinking or bathing, which can spread all sorts oflethal diseases like dysentery and cholera.
  •  It's a huge logistical problem, and obviouslyit's not very glamorous either. That's where Gates' foundation comes in. 
  • So far he's invested $200 million and pledgedanother $200 million to help solve the problem, while the charity has also worked to developtechnology that could deliver sanitary waste disposal to impoverished communities aroundthe world. 
  • Take the Nano Membrane Toilet for example,which is made possible by a $700,000 grant from the Gates Foundation, and is currentlybeing tested in Ghana. In truly futuristic fashion, this toilet isable to treat human waste without external energy or water. 
  • Solid waste is separated, diced and incinerated,and liquid waste is purified into water than can be used for crops. Of course, Gates spends his money on morethan just toilets.
  •  The foundation has spent more than $2 billionon eradicating malaria, and around another $100 million on attempting to get rid of polioand Ebola.
  • Then there's the $2.5 billion he and wifeMelinda have given to the GAVI Alliance, which works to improve access to vaccinations inthe world's poorest countries. 
  • Gates also has his own scholarship program,which has given away more than $1.6 billion since 1999, has thrown another $100 millionat malnutrition in Nigeria, and has even worked to improve "time poverty", the idea that unpaidwork robs people of their potential. 
  • Last but not least, they launched The GivingPledge in 2010, encouraging billionaires to give away the majority of their fortunes. Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and over 150 othershave signed on, promising to pledge over half a trillion dollars in donations by 2022. 
  • Obviously nobody's perfect, and neither isGates. But given his huge fortune, he is on trackto leave a truly meaningful legacy one that won't soon be forgotten.
