In recent years, scientists have realized that one of the only threats to our environment larger than fossil fuels is actually caused by our livestock! It turns out that cattle feeding on grass wind up making a lot more methane (greenhouse gasses) every year than cars do. This has prompted them to come up with a radical new solution for addressing and treating the large amounts of cattle we need per year to feed our growing appetites. While the answer might sound like something out of a science-fiction novel, the truth is that it’s set to become the standard future of the meat world pretty soon!
The answer lies in cultivating cells of meat, rather than rearing cattle through the conventional agricultural practices. This process is known as clean meat and it’s becoming widely popular because it won’t contain any antibiotics, won’t have a negative effect on the environment as a whole, and means we don’t have to hurt or kill animals anymore, making it a vegan substitute for meat as well. The concept was originally started by a man known as Jason Metheny who started investigating it’s potential in 2000. Since then, a lot of research has been put into this method of meat cultivation and a lot of different companies have adopted the process.
While the concept of cultivated meat was only really originally taking off in America, the concept has caught the attention of a Japanese Wagyu Beef farming company known as Toriyama. Because Wagyu beef takes so long to cultivate and has a very strict diet of only grass, it can cost a lot of money for the beef to become ready to export and does a lot of damage to the environment in the process of being cultivated. By growing their meat, they hope to reduce production costs, clear up the environment, and hopefully get it down to the point where you can’t tell the original from the cultivated meat.
Revealed, What Bill Gates Is Planning To Do With His Billions
Most people assume that Microsoft founder Bill Gates will pass down his fortune to his children. However, it seems he’s choosing to bypass his kids and spend his money on something else. So, what could be more important than his children?
A Huge Net Worth
The founder of Microsoft has not only built up an impressive company from scratch, but he’s also worked his way up to billionaire status. Yet, recent reports have stated that Gates has big plans for his hard-earned money…

The Family Man
While Bill Gates is known for his business acumen and his impact on the world of technology, he’s also known for his life as a family man. He has been married to his wife, Melinda Gates, since 1994, and they have since welcomed three wonderful children into their lives, Jennifer, Phoebe, and Rory. However, Bill and Melinda Recently announced their plans to divorce.

A World Of Their Own
There’s no doubt about the fact that Bill Gates’ children are in a world of their own. They have been able to grow up with their father and mother for inspiration, and they have used this inspiration to spur on their own careers. Jennifer is 23, Rory is 20, and Phoebe is 16 years old, and they are all gearing up to make their mark on the world. However, they will have to do so without their father’s money behind them.

Something Different
Most parents bring their children into the world and make it their mission to provide for them for as long as possible. They try to give them everything they want, and they try to help them out financially over the course of their existence. Because Bill and Melinda have a huge amount of money to spare, most people assumed that they would be the same. Yet, they’ve decided to go down a different road, and do something a bit more unique.

Working His Way Up
There’s no doubt about the fact that Bill, Melinda, and their children have lived an extremely privileged life. They live in one of the biggest mansions in the world – that includes its very own trampoline room – and they have the money to buy anything they want. However, this hasn’t come easy for Bill Gates. He worked himself up from the ground to create his empire, and he believes that it’s this hard work and determination that has taught him the value of money.

A Privileged Background
Of course, Bill Gates didn’t come from nothing. With a lawyer and a financial holding company director as parents, Bill spent much of his career in the shadow of his successful family. Yet, this allowed him the chance to expand his mind and embrace the importance of education. His parents paid for his private education, but the hard work he put in was entirely his own. He wanted to succeed, and that’s exactly what he did.

Pushing Boundaries
From a young age, Bill Gates knew that he wanted to change the world. He wanted to invent something that would alter the course of history, and he wanted to push the boundaries of technology. Thanks to his own research and his creative mind, he wrote his first software program when he was just 13 years old. From that moment on, he dedicated himself to the transformation of the computer system as a whole and worked tirelessly to do this on his own.

Appreciating His Money
It took Bill Gates and Paul Allen many years to perfect the coding and the software for Microsoft, but it was this dedication and determination that sculpted him as a person and his company. He learned to appreciate his money during this time, which is why he understands the struggles that many people have in the world. He knows he’s extremely lucky, and that others are not. Thankfully, he has decided not to sit idly by with his billions in the bank…

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Over the course of their marriage, Bill and Melinda Gates have noted that it’s not fair that they have so much money, while others have so little. So, they decided to set up the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This charity was founded in 2000 and has since taken the record as the largest private foundation in the world. It’s been noted that they currently have $50.7 billion in assets, which they use to enhance healthcare and encourage education. The pair still plan to continue working together at the foundation after they officially divorce.

Raising His Children
Bill Gates’ knowledge of the world and the poverty that exists has not only shaped his donations, but also the way that he raises his children. Many celebrities spoil their children and ensure that they are given the latest technology, go on the most expensive vacations, and are given the connections to make their own money. However, Bill and Melinda Gates don’t do this with their children. They raise their kids a little differently, starting with the money that they provide them with…

Important Lessons
Despite the fact that Bill Gates and his family have spent much of their lives living in their $127 million mansion, the technology mogul has tried to teach his three children important lessons over the course of their lives. As soon as he welcomed Jennifer, Phoebe, and Rory into the world, he told himself that they wouldn’t rely on their privilege to create their own lives. Because of this, he has put some rules in place and has stuck by them for decades.

Not Getting Complacent
One of the biggest rules that might surprise you is the fact that Bill Gates’ children weren’t allowed their first cell phones until they were 14 years old. As a tech mogul, this shocked the world, as many believed that the kids would be surrounded by technology from a young age. However, Bill and his family pride themselves on the everyday tasks that shape them as people, and they even wash the dishes together each night as a family.

Going To Church
Alongside this, Bill and Melinda have brought up their children to appreciate their Catholic faith. They go to church every single week, and they are constantly reading and understanding what it takes to be a valued and important member of society. Bill doesn’t want his children to get too carried away with their lucky lifestyle, because that lifestyle wasn’t just handed to him on a plate. He had to work for it, and he wants his children to do the same…

Broadening Their Horizons
Despite the fact that Bill Gates has always been a very busy man, he has also always made time for his children. When they were younger, he would drive his kids to and from school, he would read to them every single night, and he would encourage them to choose their own books and broaden their horizons. He didn’t want to push them into anything but wanted them to choose their own path and their own creative thinking.

Paying Off
This time, attention, and freedom seems to have paid off for Bill Gates and his family. His oldest daughter, Jennifer Gates, has just graduated from Stanford University with a degree in human biology. As if that wasn’t enough, she’s also a competitive equestrian! Now that she has graduated with a bachelor’s degree under her belt, it’s believed that she will further enhance her knowledge and her experience by attending medical school. This success has been off her own back, much like her father’s.

Helping Others
Jennifer Gates has been able to live her life with incredible role models to inspire her. Much like her parents, she has been able to see the divide between the rich and the poor, and it seems as though this has struck a chord with her. She now wants to help people herself, and she understands that giving to those less fortunate is the way forward. But are Jennifer and her siblings upset that they won’t be inheriting all of daddy’s money?

A Small Portion
Because of their good values, we can’t imagine that Jennifer – and her brother and sister – will be too upset to learn that they will only be receiving $10 million worth of inheritance. Of course, $10 million is a huge amount of money to most people, but it’s actually only a small portion compared to Bill Gates’ actual fortune. In fact, that’s just 0.01% of his overall net worth, which might surprise those who want to give everything to their kids. So, where will the other 99.99% go?

Open And Honest
Bill Gates and Melinda will donate everything else that they have to their name to charity. It’s believed that a huge portion will go to their own charity, and the rest will be split across various different organizations that they feel very strongly about. Bill has been extremely open and honest about this decision in the past, and he has even spoken about it during a famous TED talk.

Striking A Balance
During this talk, Bill was extremely frank about the fact that he has accumulated a huge amount of money over the course of his life. However, he doesn’t want his children to assume that they can have this money because their father is a billionaire. He wants to strike a balance between the appreciation of money and wealth, and the freedom to do what they want. He also wants them to make something of themselves on their own terms.

No Way To Live
More than anything, Bill doesn’t want to shower his children with money so they only rely on the generosity of their parents. He believes that this could cause them to “do nothing” and simply expect a life of luxury without putting in the hard work. Thanks to his own experience, Bill believes that this is no way to live. By giving them a small headstart in life, he gives them the option to make their own success.

Following In His Footsteps
By doing this, Bill Gates hopes that his children will follow in his footsteps. He wants them to explore their own avenues of choice, and make their own mark on their own terms. He doesn’t want to push them into anything, but at the same time, he wants to make sure that they know where they are going and how to get there. We bet he’s the perfect role model for his children and other kids around the world.

A Life Of Indulgence
Thanks to his own hard work and his own path, Bill Gates has been able to make a difference while also taking advantage of his money – and he wants his kids to do the same. Of course, he has splashed the cash on mansions, private planes, and souped-up cars over the years, but he has never gone to the extreme. He has not only kept this money for himself, but he’s also given a huge amount away.

Growing Up
Bill Gates’ children still have some growing up to do before they are let loose on the big, wide world, and there’s no doubt about the fact that they are in a privileged position. With the Gates name behind them, there’s a high chance that they’re going to make their mark on the world. However, many can’t help but congratulate Bill Gates for his decision to keep their inheritance on the down-low. After all, money doesn’t always equate to happiness or success.
