Mozambique's former First Lady Graça Machel welcomed his announcement, saying it came in a "moment of crisis".

"We are counting on Mr Gates' steadfast commitment to continue walking this path of transformation alongside us," she said.

Giving away 99% of his fortune could still leave the fifth-richest person in the world a billionaire, according to Bloomberg.

However, critics of his foundation say Gates uses its charitable status to avoid tax and that it has undue influence over the global health system. »

Though diehard aficionados had a suspicion that the Cosmology developers had considered a follow-up, concrete evidence of it was scant.
