According to CNBC, Bill Gates finds the concept of working less than full-time to be “terrifying.”
The 68-year-old billionaire Bill Gates expressed his desire to emulate his longtime buddy Warren Buffett, who at 94 years old serves as chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and has no intention of retiring anytime soon.
Gates said to CNBC Make It, “My friend Warren Buffett still goes to the office six days a week.” “So I hope my health allows me to be like Warren.”
The co-founder of Microsoft stated that he still has a ton of goals to pursue.
He continues to serve as a “technology advisor” to Microsoft and devotes most of his time to funding potential solutions to the world’s most pressing issues, which include disease, poverty, climate change, and access to healthcare and education. According to Forbes, his net worth is currently $128 billion.
These problems are the central focus of Gates’ most recent endeavor, a five-part Netflix documentary series titled “What’s Next? On September 18, “The Future with Bill Gates” will premiere.
Next year, the [Bill & Melinda Gates] Foundation will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Malaria and polio have not been completely eradicated. “I’m devoted to finding solutions for those issues,” Gates declared.
He emphasized, “We want to cut child deaths in half, from 5 million to 2.5 million.”
According to Gates, this is a major factor in his desire to put off retiring as long as feasible.
That translates to “at least 10 years, health permitting, of working at this level,” in his opinion. However, he states, “Hopefully [my working life] will be 20 or 30 years.”
Bill Gates and the Lesson He Learned Over Many YearsThe intensity of Gates’ early career, when he was concentrated on founding Microsoft and growing it into a major player in the computing industry, is a far cry from his present work rate.
