Bill Gates, Founder of Microsoft Corporation, announced the biggest amount of money in the 21st Century. He donated 5 percent of his total wealth. Its financial value is approximately $ 460 million. However, no organization has given so much money, no details were given about it.

Bloomberg reported that on June 6, Bill Gates has donated 640 million shares of the software firm. Its market value is $ 460 million. Although it has not been made clear to any organization, Bill Gates's contribution to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funds has so far been made.

61 year old Bill Gates donated this huge amount of money to the first since 2000. Of course, there is an example of more money than that. In 1999, the bill donated $ 160 billion worth of shares. A year later, $ 510 million donation was announced.

However, there is no comment on anyone from Microsoft and Bill Gates about recent donations.

Bill and his wife Melinda Gates are involved in charity since 1994. A total of 168 wealthy people, including Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, have announced to donate their wealth to most charitable work.

Bill Gates is the richest person in the world, despite giving this huge amount of money. Bloomberg Billionaire's index is worth $ 8,610 million. Jeff Bezos, the manager of Amazon.com Inc., is close to Bill Gates. Since January, Jeff's wealth has increased nearly 30 percent.
