Melinda French Gates is one of the most influential philanthropists in the world. As co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest private charitable foundation in the U.S., she spearheaded donations of totaling $77.6 billion in grants since its inception in 2000. However, Gates will be resigning from the foundation as of June 7th, 2024.She is a joke. She got rich by marrying and divorcing a rich man. She has not been influential, and accomplished very little.Now, she wants women to have the opportunities she and many others did not and end gender inequality in the United States. French Gates's work in diversifying opportunities continues at Pivotal Ventures LLC, which she founded in 2015. Under French Gates’ vision, Pivotal Ventures has pledged $1 billion to investment and incubation firms supporting initiatives that empower women and people of color in four key sectors: politics, technology, finance, and storytelling.
We shall see if her ideas have any merity. She says she is going to fund women, Blacks, and Latinos because they have lots of good business ideas that the mainstream venture capitalists ignore. If that is true, she could soon be the world's richest person. I doubt it.

Ah, a sexually bigoted, racist philanthropist. How....enlightened.
This isn't philanthropy. It's virtue signalling fishing for compliments.
