Rory John Gates is an American national and the only son of tech mogul and billionaires Bill Gates and Melinda Gates. His father is one of the founding members of the world’s largest and most renowned software company Microsoft. He is now the fourth-richest person in the world with a net worth of $124 billion. Furthermore, Bill and Melinda are philanthropists and co-chairmen of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Roy attended Lakeside School just like the rest of the family. Rory will receive his share of $10 to $20 million once he inherits his parent’s wealth. You may wonder why a son of a billionaire would receive a paltry sum. This is because Bill Gates has pledged to donate a majority of his wealth to charities leaving only a puny amount to his children each.
