He was in the right place at the right time on history to make that kind of money and he shared the wealth with his employees. Many of the original employees of Microsoft also became rich. He is also very chartable man who donates a vast amount of money to great causes. What is funny is that Warren Buffet has pledged a large amount of his fortune to Bill Gates Charities when he dies.
Bill Gates gets a lot of bad rep from an overzealous competitor. He had taken an idea or a product and shared the wealth. IBM did not do it, IBM kept what it had, Apple remained self-centered as it was and now. If Bill Gates was to leave us now, we will know what a Great man this guy truly is.
Well said, his biggest crime is he is the best at making money. The more successful someone is the easier it is to hate them.
Personally I like Bill Gates, he does a lot for his charities which helps a lot of people. Now imagine if he was evil and there was some secret code in Windows that could be executed at his whim to crash every Windows based computer at the same time
Amazing facts. Apparently, he is not going to give any more to his family when he passes away, he is going to donate to charity etc.
Funny, but I hope you realize that most of them are false. Bill Gates doesn't have a fixed salsary in the billions or even millions. The guy is not rich, but wealthy; He doesn't have cash, he has assets.
I wonder how much money he has in actual liquid items...cash, bank accounts, etc... not all his stocks and everything... guess I'll put that on my list of things to research
He's got about $30 billion in MSFT, so he's got $20 billion somewhere else. Definitely not liquid, though.
Lmao! I came back here to wanting to make a comment about him and Paypal account,(joke) and it look like you beat me to it, wow, coincidence or what
