Does Bill Gates Own A Domain?

    It is surprising that the world's richest man does not own his name in the world wide web. I'm not sure about this, but billgates.com is a parking domain. If this domain belongs to Bill Gates, do you think Bill Gates would turn this domain a parking page?

    Maybe he doesn't really care, I guess he has a lot more to think about possibly focusing on owning the largest company in the world. If i was Bill Gates I guess buying BillGates.com would be my main priority and improving my crap operating system would come after the acquisition of this domain name.

    Hmm I don't really see him getting one. why should he - Microsoft is already about him. Do you think Brin and Page will have their own domains?

    Why would he want a domain that's worth less than $10?

    But why would he waste his time on just thousands :)

    I dont think he has time to have anything posted on that domain. And even if its parked that doesnt mean that he is not the owner. May be he is the owner... just registerd and parked under some others name.

    You would think at some part of his lifetime he would own a domain.

    I don't think so owning that is unlikely to make him a billion more dollars ;)

    Cause if it was to, he would have bought it before now :cool:

    for a 52 year old man that's the CEO of a huge company (lots of pressure) I personally think he looks good

    He could have forgotten this matter during the peak of his business empire.
