Gates’ Hidden Trash Empire | Raleigh News

About this episode

Bill Gates’ investment firm, Cascade, holds a staggering half of its portfolio in Republic Services, a giant in waste and recycling — the very service you rely on every week. Far from tech, this overlooked industry is quietly powering Gates’ philanthropy, with profits funding global health and poverty initiatives. Republic’s strong Q2 earnings and optimistic outlook reinforce Cascade’s long-term bet, revealing a strategic pivot by the tech titan toward essential, everyday businesses that keep society running.
