Apple CEO Tim Cook says he will give away his entire $785m (£526m) fortune before he dies. He told Fortune magazine that he would help his 10-year-old nephew's education then give away his fortune.

Two of the causes that are close to his heart are HIV/Aids prevention and treatment, and climate change. He told the magazine that he has already started to donate money quietly.

His net worth is about $120m (£80.5m), and he holds stock in Apple worth $665m (£446m).

The 54-year-old will follow in the footsteps of other wealthy people - including Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg who have all pledged to give away at least half of their net worth in their lifetimes.

In the wide-ranging interview, he described his recent decision to announce he was gay.

He also warned investors that Apple planned for long-term success rather than short-term gains. "The kind of investors we seek are long term because that’s how we make our decisions. If you're a short-term investor, obviously you've got the right to buy the stock and trade it the way you want. It's your decision. But I want everybody to know that's not how we run the company."
