Oxfam, the world’s leading charity organization, estimates that Bill Gates’ net worth is increasing at a rate of 11 percent every year. Based on this, it projects his net worth to be over a trillion dollars in 25 years.
This projection would hold true even if Gates continues to give away billions through his well-known charity foundation.

Forbes magazine already estimates that Gates net worth jumped by $10 billion to $85 billion dollars in January this year.
Gates doesn’t just make a lot of money—he gives away a lot of money too. Estimates indicate that as of 2013, he had donated up to $28 billion through his foundation to contribute towards fighting global poverty.
