Bill Gates gave away $35 billion this year but didn't see his personal net worth drop.

The average family office portfolio in North America had about 32% of its assets in stocks in 2018, according to a Campden Wealth report.

Typically investors would be more diversified across asset classes like government bonds and real estate."You can make the case that the yields aren't very high but that's true against all asset classes," said Gates. "T-bills, 10-Year are well less than 2%, so there's no obvious thing to beat other investors out there and there's reasons to think absolute returns for the next decade will be less than they have been for the last several decades.

Financial advisors warn that just because a billionaire favors a particular allocation, it doesn't mean all investors should follow suit. "Whether it's a billionaire, CEO or foundation, you have to remember that they are investing for their own objectives," said certified financial planner Douglas Boneparth, president and founder of Bone Fide Wealth in New York. "You should be investing based on your own goals, your tolerance for risk and your preferences," Boneparth said.

If you're a young investor, for instance, and you won't need the money for decades, you could stand to be more aggressively invested.Pre-retirees or retirees, on the other hand, might need to be far less invested in stocks to reduce the risk in their portfolio.— CNBC's Sarah O'Brien contributed to this report.Correction: A previous version misstated how much Bill Gates has donated to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Bill Gates how far am I from my goal? I was over looking this fued with Trump & Democrats and im not going to believe how much any vote is undependable. They would kill everyone and not defend dreams. I made up my mind.

Clickbait. Article says 36 billion 'over the last two decades.' 👎🏻

Come on guys, to whom did he give the 35 Billion, that money can end homelessness in the US, so where did he spend it?

Truly awesome

I used to admire that man, but after knowing his macabre plans, I ended up changing my mind.

Our hearts go out to Billy 💚

Pfft, a corporation that 'offshores' it's profits to avoid taxes, I guess he did...needs the PR badly to offset the fact he's a eugenics scumbag

Nice

Thank you Humanity

CoachDrewGlobal Yeah well, I didn’t get shizzzzzz

BillGates I am more than happy to assist you with this issue. :)

I wonder if I am too much on Twitter or you recycle this 15 times a month? Or both?!!

This man is brilliant, generous and focused on using his wealth in useful ways. We are blessed he is an American. Leave him alone.

Easy for the globalist

Does he wire it?

Gave 35 billion away to what, his own non-profits. Yeaup, what a great guy he is.

Works well with his tax and wealth plan. Kudos to his accountants and lawyers

Bill Gates received a big tax cut due to Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Bill Gates $35 billion donation did not move the homeless people into a home and did not cut prices of healthcare, medicines, housing, and college for Americans who are burdened by so many big bills.

Australia fires: blazes 'too big to put out' as 140 bushfires rage in NSW and Queensland The Australian prime minister ScottMorrisonMP is now known as SmoKo - a greedy (Pentacostal),climate denying and delaying racist. He also supports Trump! God forbid

Gotta calculate that perfect amount where the tax reduction is more than the 'donation'

In the meantime Bernie & sanders & booker & aoc gave?

Bill Gates wealth, is it his wealth alone or does it include Microsoft? If the company's wealth is invested in stocks, how can it be better for this company or its employees? Does he reinvest in this company or this company's employees? What could happen to their their 401K's?

Bill Gates = German/English!

Any Washington Mutual or Worldcom shares?

Will he apply for food stamps?

I’ve seen this from you guys about 15 times now. Please new articles

Why doesn't the bastard rebuild the inner cities of America

Thats what can happen when yoy have s stock market that goes up 25% because exonomic policies are pro growth rather than pro everything but america.

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie thinks the government would be better at spending his money
