The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Has 86% of Its $39 Billion Portfolio Invested in Just 5 Stocks
Bill Gates is the sixth richest person in the world, according to The Real-Time Billionaires List from Forbes. He made his fortune by co-founding tech giant (NASDAQ: MSFT). However, he began transitioning away from the company in 2008 to focus his attention full-time on his charitable organization, the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation.
The foundation has a portfolio of stocks -- worth roughly $39 billion as of this writing -- to help fund its efforts. For investors, it may seem like a good idea to dissect this portfolio as a source of investing insight.
However, investing is a personal journey. And while one can learn from other investors, it's important to understand how personal situations can differ. Only once the differences are appreciated can one draw insight from the foundation's portfolio.
