Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

In a previous Reddit talk, Bill Gates shared his belief that "leaving kids massive amounts of money is not a favor to them." He added, "Some people disagree with this, but Melinda and I feel good about it" (via Fox Business). Although, despite being against leaving all of his money to his children, the Microsoft founder still reportedly plans to give each of his kids $10 million.

For most people, $10 million is a fortune beyond belief. However, this amount is only a tiny piece of Bill's overall wealth. Of course, since Bill and Melinda Gates divorced, she might increase the amount of Jennifer's inheritance. Although, the possibility of a change isn't clear at this point. 

While Jennifer Gates grew up with all the advantages of extreme wealth, she recognizes the situation. "I was born into a huge situation of privilege," Jennifer previously told Sidelines Magazine, adding, "and I think it's about using those opportunities and learning from them to find things that I'm passionate about and hopefully make the world a little bit of a better place." Perhaps she'll be able to use a bit of her inheritance to do just that.
