Is Bill Gates doing any estate tax planning?

His father is an advocate of reinstatement of the tax. I heard somewhere Bill Gates will bequeath a good chunk of his estate to his foundation and thus minimize or pay no estate tax. Meanwhile his heirs can be named to run the foundation and continue to control the family fortunes. Is it true?

It is my understanding that Bill Gates does not want to give a really large estate to his children. You're probably right, that the bulk of his estate will go to charity. Note that Bill and Melinda have already given 52% of their total wealth to charity. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bill_gates...

probably...anyone that rich has to be crooked somehow

Sorry, can't help you.
Bill Gates doesn't usually call me to discuss finances, etc.
I was just talking to Bill the other night. We went to see Cars, then we went to Sizzler afterward for an all-you-can-eat steak and shrimp platter. Well, that's what I had. He had a salad bar. On me, of course. We decided that most of what he has will be willed to me, and maybe a few of my closest friends. We were up late planning the details, but we didn't want to overlook anything.
