    Why would he want/need to do this?

    I have not been inside Bill’s brain, nor studied us other 161 credits on imdb. But it is obvious he loves being in the public eye

    why would he constantly draw the public’s eye towards the one thing that would ruin his reputation if he actually is embezzling money through his charities?

    This is misdirection. He says he has given away his money to charity, but he still fully controls that money and can use the research grants for profit in his external personal portfolio. I have never accused Bill of embezzlement. I’m sure the whole process has gone through multiple lawyers.

    Because when your money is more liquid it is more flexible? Idk.

    Liquidity is how easy an asset is to sell. Stick with “idk”.

    Action speak louder than words. Gates has yet to “give away” more than 20% of his wealth.
