Bill Gates recently shared with Indian podcaster Raj Shamani that when he passes, his three children — Jennifer Gates, 28, Rory Gates, 25, and Phoebe Gates, 22 — will inherit “less than 1 percent” of his vast fortune.
With a net worth of $101.2 billion, according to Forbes, that still means the children will receive a sum of over $1 billion, even at less than 1 percent.
The subject arose when Shamani discussed the common belief among many Indian parents that they should “save everything for their kids” rather than donate their wealth to charity or the less fortunate.
Gates, 69, is well-known for founding the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest private charitable foundation in the world, with his former wife, Melinda Gates, in 2000.

The White House issued a strong rebuke on Tuesday to a New York Times article covering Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s review of current fluoride policies and his new initiative urging states to eliminate fluoride from drinking water.
The Times had published a story on Monday detailing Kennedy’s kickoff of a cross-country campaign advocating for the elimination of fluoridation in public water systems. The publication described the move as “a move that would reverse what some medical experts consider one of the most important public health practices in the country’s history.”

Karoline Leavitt: “When you punch at the United States of America, President Trump is going to punch back harder”

POTUS: “No other President would have done what I did… Somebody had to do it. It had to stop because it’s not sustainable. Last year, China made $1 trillion off trade with the United States… Now I’ve reversed it.”

According to security sources, the IDF has only managed to destroy about 25% of Hamas’s tunnels in Gaza, N12 reports today.
The sources also revealed that a large portion of the smuggling tunnels from Egypt to Gaza remains undestroyed. The Egypt-Gaza border continues to be a contentious issue, with ongoing concerns about weapons smuggling, which is one reason Israel has refused to withdraw from the Philadelphia Corridor.
“I saw with my own eyes quite a few tunnels crossing into Egypt; some were closed, and several were open,” Defense Minister Israel Katz stated at a February conference, as reported by N12. “We had information that Hamas was planning to attack soldiers and settlements during the ceasefire.”

In an explosive revelation that could rewrite the timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic, a military report recently uncovered by the Washington Free Beacon indicates that seven American troops may have contracted COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, in October 2019—months before China acknowledged the virus’s existence. The report, mandated by the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act and secretly withheld by the Biden administration for nearly two years, was uncovered and quietly made public in late March. It outlines that seven U.S. military service members fell ill with COVID-like symptoms after attending the World Military Games held in Wuhan in October 2019.
