For the second year in a row, Bill Gates participated in the Reddit Secret Santa, which this year, nearly 300,000 participated.

The wildly popular social media site had Bill Gates matched up with a 25-year-old girl from California.Every user has a few wishes including a "pie in the sky wish" (a far-fetched, crazy or expensive gift that they probably won't receive). Except, when you're Bill Gates you get that person that "pie in the sky" wish.

According to Yahoo:

Not only did he send her a Loki helmet she had listed as her "pie in the sky wish," but he also gifted her a book of gorgeous pictures of Africa (a place she says she desperately wants to visit), a stuffed polio virus microbe, and a donation in her name to Shot@Life, a program that provides vaccines to kids in poor countries who need them.

Bill wrote to the girl:

The inscription in the book Gates got Cali reads, "Melinda and I have been to Africa many times and loved it. I hope you get a chance to visit and check that off your bucket list. Merry Christmas, Bill Gates."

The 25-year-old took to Reddit to say: "I can't even begin to describe how incredible it makes me feel knowing that he made this donation in my name! I always donate what I can for charities, which is never much cause money is always extremely tight, it really makes me glow!"
