Canva co-founder Cameron Adams has pledged to donate “the majority” of his wealth.
The commitment was made as part of the Giving Pledge, which is a promise by the world’s wealthiest philanthropists to donate the majority of their wealth to charity. The movement was founded by Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett.
The Australian Financial Review estimates Adams’ net worth to be $AU7 billion.

In his pledge letter, Adams said he believes that with “good fortune comes great responsibility”.
He added: “From day one at Canva we set out with a vision not just to build a successful company, but to do the most good we possibly can, and the growth of Canva has unlocked the ability to scale our impact in ways we never imagined.” He plans to donate his wealth to “protecting and restoring biodiversity”.
His fellow co-founders, Melanie Perkins and Cliff Obrecht, also committed to The Giving Pledge in 2021.
