According to the recent 13F filing, billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates made significant changes to his investment portfolio in the third quarter of 2025.

However, Gates and his wife Melinda still guide the managers in voting proxies and consider issues beyond just corporate profits, such as the foundation's core values and principles.
As one of the world's wealthiest individuals and a renowned philanthropist, Bill Gates' investment decisions continue to garner significant attention from the financial community and the public at large.
