Bill Gates has been mainly into philanthropy in recent times and has his own foundation as well.

I will likely go to watch the event. This is the first time Roger Federer will play tennis in the Bay Area. Bill Gates went to the London Olympics to watch US Olympian Ariel Hsing’s match against eventual Olympic Champion Li Xiaoxia of China where Ariel gave Li her toughest match en route to her gold losing close 4-2 in the final 16. Bill Gates has known Ariel since she was young. 

Warren Buffet invites Olympian Ariel Hsing annually to his company’s annual shareholder’s meeting to play ping-pong with her and Bill Gates and let anyone challenge her.
