Foundation – Bill Gates joins Heineken – Economy

Microsoft founder Bill Gates joins Heineken. Gates acquired 10.8 million shares of Heineken Holding on Feb. 17, valued at €883 million, representing a 3.76 percent stake. This emerges from a statement by the Dutch Financial Market Authority (AFM). The shares were sold by Mexican group Femsa, which is in the process of divesting its stake in the Dutch brewing group. Heineken Holding is the main shareholder of brewing giant Heineken. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the charitable foundation of the billionaire and his former wife, could not immediately be reached for comment.
