The Microsoft founder has become one of the world's greatest philanthropists and today the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation boasts nearly $34 billion.
The foundation teams up with partners around the world to take on some of the most important global issues, primarily poverty and poor health in developing countries.
A significant portion of the fund is spent fighting HIV/AIDS, and this week Gates is playing a key role in the Vienna 2010 AIDS Conference.
Gates has said he is now optimistic about finding an HIV vaccine and he's working with some of the world's top health experts to make this possible.

The former U.S. president has been a prolific fundraiser and activist for a number of important causes since his term ended in 2001. If it's not HIV/AIDS and malaria, it's development and post-quake reconstruction in Haiti.
As scientists edge closer to a vaccine for HIV, the fight against AIDS has never been more crucial. Bill Clinton will lend his clout, celebrity and fundraising expertise to an international conference on the disease in Vienna starting Monday.
He will be one of the key voices in a conference that tells us how we've progressed and where we still have to go.
