Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you want I five? It's the Erica Show Amber
ENTRMP from my Carolina CBS seventeen. Bill Gates worth one
hundred and forty seven billion dollars, revealing on a podcast
that he's only given us three kids one percent of
his net worth, you know, in their inheritance, which that's
one point five billion ish split between the three kids.
Y'all think that? I mean, like, whatever, it is, what
it is, But how does that make you feel? Knowing that?

(00:20):
I don't know if it makes you feel anyway? We're
not getting the money, But you know what I'm saying, like,
do you think that stingy? Like if you were in
his situation, would you give your kids more?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
That is an incredible one percent. That's the best one

to be braddy, ungrateful, not hardworking like Warren uh whatever
his name is, takes like tons of tons of money.
He set his kids up to have enough, but not
enough to where they didn't think they ever had to

(01:06):
do anything in.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Life for sure. And I feel like, I don't know.
Gates is a smart man. I think his wife as
incredible as with all she does, I'm sure they have
stipulations like you're getting this money if you keep a job,
if you have this you know.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm gonna be.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Really honest, I've never even really thought that much about
it because I'm not in that situation and I'm not
gonna judge what somebody else is your money anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
