Yep, Bill Gates, one of the top 10 richest person in the world, was in Haiti back in February 2014.
Note: At the time that Bill Gates visited Haiti he was the richest person in the world. As of the last update he is number five.
Bill Gates, his wife, now ex wife Melinda and their children visited hospitals in Plateau Central Haiti with his family to pay a visit to Dr. Paul Farmer, one of the heroes of global health, Gates said.
According to a news report by Radio Kiskeya, Bill Gates, his wife Melinda and their kids arrived on board two helicopters at the Zanmi Lasante (Partners in Health) Hospital in Cange Haiti.
Bill Gates and his wife Melinda visited Haiti at least once before because he blogged about it.
On gatesnotes.com Bill Gates wrote: "We started our day in Cange, a town in the Central Plateau of Haiti where PIH has a clinic. When we arrived, a small student orchestra was performing a song that I later learned was from Pirates of the Caribbean. At least judging from what we saw, life in Cange has improved since the last time Melinda and I were there."
Later they went to the city of Corporan where he visited a vocational training center. Thereafter, the delegation was welcomed at the University Hospital of Mirebalais (HUM).
At midday, Kiskeya reports, Bill Gates and Paul Farmer flew to Port-au-Prince without making statements to the press...
An article on Radio Metropole's web site read...
Bill Gates visited his works in the Central Plateau --- "In 2035 there will be almost no poor country," dixit American billionaire Bill Gates. And, to be convinced, he visited programs funded his charitable foundation in the Central Plateau, activities that can transform Haiti, as he predicted, in "lower middle income country."
