Although its bullshit and hypocritical, 43 million is .0004% of Gates' net worth.
Its like throwing away a quarter if you make 50k a year. Its nothing.

OP is a poor.
No offense OP, but you've never been rich. If Bill had just 1/10th of his net worth in a LOW yield account, he would make $204MM a year just in interest. From ONE TENTH of his net worth, in a LOW YIELD ACCOUNT.
Now, imagine the most likely scenario, that he has NINETY PERCENT of his net worth in HIGH YIELD investments, he makes nearly $10B a year in profits.
$43MM is like the quarter you wouldn't bend over to pick up.
