The public paparazzi was quick to capture the moment that showed Gates waiting in line to get his order.

Wearing a brown pullover in his signature style, gray pants and sneakers, Gates, like a common man stood in the line for a burger, fries, and Coke. According to a report bby GeekWire, a former Microsoft employee Mike Galos posted this image on his Facebook wall, shining a spotlight on the simple life of a man who runs the largest charity in the history of the world.

In other news, the Gates Foundation is seeking to encourage international donor governments such as the United States, Japan, Australia, Germany, Britain and many others to replenish four key global funds in the next 18 months so they can continue their work.

The funds include the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) and the GAVI vaccines alliance and the Global Financing Facility for child and maternal health.

Bill Gates said he was optimistic that wealthy donor governments remain committed to funding international aid for poor countries, but added: "We never want to take it for granted, because ... just one (donor) country dropping back could cost hundreds of thousands of lives."

He also said he was concerned that "distraction by domestic issues" may mean the still urgent need for global aid funding may not get the attention it deserves.

"People shouldn't become complacent," he said. "We still have a little less than six million children who die under the age of five."
