Some Amazing Facts About The Richest
Man In The World Alive Today;

... Bill Gates ...


1. Bill Gates earns $250 every SECOND, that's about $20 million a DAY  and $7.8 billion a YEAR!

2. If he drops a thousand dollars, he won't even bother to pick it up because in the 4 seconds it takes to pick it up, he would have already earned it back.

3. U.S's national debt is about $5.62 trillion. If Bill Gates wants to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.

4. He can donate $15 to everyone on earth and still be left with $5 million for his pocket money.

5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in the U.S. If he  doesn't drink and eat, and keep his annual income at $30 million,  he'll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is  today.

6. If Bill Gates were a country, he will be the 37th richest
country on earth.

7. If you change all of Bill Gate's money to $1 bills, you can make a road from earth to moon 14 times back and forth. But you will have to  make that road non-stop for 1400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING  747 planes to transport all the money.

8. Bill Gates will be 42 this year. If we assume that he still can  live for another 35 years, he has to spend $6.78 million per day to  finish his money before his death.

9. BUT!!! If we the Microsoft Windows' users claim $1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will go bankrupt in 3 year

So? He earns a lot of money.. He does a lot of good, and as saralk said, the only problems with windows is mostly self-inflicted. I have never had a problem with Windows because its a real copy, and I keep my computer clean of everything. Bill Gates is a good dude, and he wants to give money to charitys, I expect, not just because he has to keep up a front to make himself look good. Without him, you wouldn't be here reading this right now. ;)

One time on like Vh1 I saw his house.  He probably moved out by now though:p Before you go in his house you program a microchip with your personal settings.  Your favorite room temp. favorite music, favorite art, etc...  And every time you go into a room, it changes to that room temp.  plays your favorite music, and the T.V.'s show your favorite artwork, etc. How awesome is that.  And he also has those underwater speakers, where you can hear everything crystal clear.  So sweet...

Yups that right rafy,
They only (for now) stand to get $10 Mil. And the rest will go to charity. But then the kids would also have "the house" and that’s worth more then $100 mil.

* Existing cedar tree was determined by Gates to be in the wrong
location and moved 6 inches.
lol!!

Gates insisted on saving a 140-year-old maple adjacent to the
driveway. The tree is monitored electronically 24 hours per day via
computer. If it seems dry, it gets just the right amount of water
automatically delivered.

thats just weird

You all say it rocks to be rich like that but i wouldnt like to be that rich.
Yes i would like to be rich of course but thats just too much.
There is nothing he cant buy ( fortunately hes a nice guy [i guess] ), he could buy everything. Imagine if he was a bad guy he would try to rule the world and all that stuff we see in the movies. lol..

He cant go anywhere without special protection, his family cant reveal their identity and life gets kinda boring when you have no objectives ( he has only one, Microsoft ).
Im kinda sure Microsoft is his life he lives for it.
He can have anything he wants, he can kill people ( giving 300000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 dollars to someone, per example ) without noone knowing about that.
He is as lucky as you are the true is that you only value things when you dont have them, its human.


Money can buy everything but true love.

I think that is the problem with being rich, people want you for your money.

I really admire Bill Gates, he had a dream, and followed it through, starting from very little he managed to work hard to create his own empire, I don't think he deserves half the stick he gets tbh.
