People forget that Bill Gates had to be shamed into becoming a philanthropist. There was news stories about how he gave so little to charity. That's when Gates decided to be more generous with his money.

Actually, what motivated him was his awesome wife Melinda. She's an amazing human. Along with Bezos' ex-wife. Both these women are billionaires now in their own right (thanks to divorce settlements), and both women are profoundly wise and generous.
No, Melinda was on Team Bill Gates when the shaming began because of a lack of philanthropy. She might have encouraged him post-shaming, but the shaming came first.

His father (who has always been a good and honorable man) also played a role.
Well, that's true.
