00:00Is Bill Gates the biggest loser of 2025?

00:03The numbers say yes, but it's not what it sounds like.

00:06Yes, he saw his net worth plummet by $52 billion in just one week this year, but Microsoft

00:11is booming, recently hitting a $3.7 trillion market cap.

00:15So why did the founder lose 30% of his fortune and drop out of the world's top 10 richest

00:19people list?

00:20The answer?

00:21This was intentional, and it wasn't exactly a loss.

00:24The drop wasn't some market crash.

00:27It was a recalculation by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

00:30They accounted for the decades of massive transfers he's made to his charity.

00:34This adjustment pushed his net worth from about $175 billion down to $124 billion, landing

00:40him at rank number 12.

00:41And he's not finished.

00:42Gates has promised to give away virtually all his wealth, and in his own words, he's determined

00:48not to be referred to as someone who died rich when that day comes.

00:52He still has over $120 billion left.

00:55Should he stop here or give it all away?

00:58Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
