Plenury indulgences or a carefully structured set of trusts that he will hold shadow control of? Either way i suspect the man sees the wall coming and wishes to avoid being pushed up against it and shot.

Maybe pay some fucking taxes first, Bill.

I'm fairly certain he pays every last cent he government asks of him.
The problem is that the government has been unwilling to ask for more, and the current one certainly won't.

He has been advocating for higher taxes for while though, like backing the Washington Income Tax initiative with his father:

Bill Gates Sr., father of the Microsoft Corp. co-founder, and about two dozen other supporters of Initiative 1098 turned in 350,000 petition signatures Thursday in Olympia, many more than the roughly 241,000 required to get on the ballot. The campaign says it will turn in an additional 20,000 Friday. Gates said that it was time “to make our tax code fair for the middle class and small businesses.”

And that is exactly what he and his class makes sure of via their politics and clandestine political ~~bribery~~ lobbying efforts.
