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.
