From what I have heard, Bill Gates is quite the charitable fellow! Think about it. He could probably donate an unbeiveable sum daily to charities - and stil make money!

As for the stock, well duh - if he sells it - he loses a stake in the ownership of his company! It's not like he needs to make money - and chances are he's severely restricted as to how much he can cash-out by the FED an such. It not like he can say - "Gimmie all of it!"
