You'll have to prove the "an actual charity" at that. It's literally in his name, Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, and Melinda had enough of Bill that she nixed their relationship.
Bill and Melinda Gates foundation are also behind Common Core and basically ruined public education in the US.
The foundation is a way for Bill to keep doing what he likes without having to pay taxes on it, he's just done a better job of repairing his image than Larry.
Malaria deaths have fallen by 60% in the last 15 years, saving on the order of 12 million lives. Bill's foundation has donated around $4B to the cause.
And yeah, it's got Melinda's name on it, but let's face it, virtually all the money is from Bill/Microsoft.
You should know better than to be defending evil people.
Bill & Melinda Gates' Foundation's evil illegal "vaccine trials" on tribal children (especially girls) in India (without the consent of them and their parents) directly caused the deaths of several children, hospitalizations of scores of of such victims, and it was a huge conspiracy and controversy that was uncovered during investigations by Supreme Court and police.

But much of the motivation for starting a foundation is from Melinda.
It’s almost like it was done… as a team.
Where one side provided all the money, the other side provided the direction.
Both were necessary. Weird huh?
