William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington) is the co-founder, chairman, former chief software architect, and former CEO of Microsoft. Forbes magazine's The World's Billionaires list has ranked him as the richest person on earth for the last thirteen consecutive years. According to the Forbes 2006 magazine, Bill Gates's current net worth is approximately $53 billion. When family wealth is considered, his family ranks second behind the Walton family.[3][4]\n\nGates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. He is widely respected for his foresight and ambition.[5][6] He is also frequently criticized as having built Microsoft through unfair or unlawful business practices. Since amassing his fortune, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, founded in 2000. On June 16, 2006, Bill Gates announced that he would move to a part-time role with Microsoft (leaving day-to-day operations management) in 2008 to begin a career in philanthropy, but will remain as chairman; the announcement coincided with decisions by billionaire Warren Buffett to double the Gates Foundation, matching contributions $1.5 billion in stock per year for 20 years.

It was not 'discovered'. Bill Gates went to school, and they had some huge computers there. The students messed with them, and programmed with punchcards. Bill excelled in it, and everyone asked him questions about it. He got hired to make a traffic counting machine with a friend. The friend died, and Bill picked up the project with Paul Allen. They did other things, and eventually created the DOS operating system and sold it to IBM. They later created Microsoft, and bought back the rights for their DOS and started distibuting DOS to everyone. DOS grew over time, and GUIs were formed, and Microsoft became a giant.

1. William H. Gates III\n\nAge: 43\nNationality: American\nMartial Status: Married\nChildren: 2\nEducation: Harvard dropout\nWorth: $90 Billion\n\nWe should all just face the fact that Bill Gates will one day rule the world. By the time Windows 2015 comes out, all will fear Bill's wrath. But you gotta admit that it doesn't look like it went to his head; the richest human on Earth, and he has the dorkiest haircut money could buy.\n\nThe son of a lawyer father and teacher mother, Gates dropped out of preschool to devote all of his time to inventing Microsoft with chum Paul Allen, then just 3 years old. After drooling all over the HVAC tubes, Bill decided to go back to school for a few more years, eventually dropping out of Harvard University to work on Microsoft.\n\nThe rest, as they all too frequently say, is history. Microsoft became this huge international corporate behemoth, and is currently fighting off anti-trust investigations and accusations that it holds a monopoly. When Bill rules the world, he's going to come down and fire those federal court judges with extreme prejudice. They'll never work on his planet again!\n\nGates relinquished his role as President of Microsoft in 1998, and as CEO on January 13, 2000; both posts are now held by Steve Ballmer. However, Bill remains Chairman and "chief software architect" of the company, as well as its largest shareholder. So they still let him come to board meetings.\n\nMr. Bill once gave $17 Billion to charity, which makes Ted Turner's paltry offering of $1 billion to the UN look like chump change. He's also written a couple of books and is heavily invested in biotechnology and cellular and satellite technology. Investors, call your brokers.\n\nSo to get onto our list of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Billionaires, you must: join Microsoft (preferably early on), be an oil baron, drop out of college, get married, have 3.1 kids, inherit lots of money, and bleed your people dry.

The total number of hours Gates has worked since Microsoft was founded, in 1975, can be determined by multiplying the following numbers: \n\n80 hours/week average work week.\n52 weeks in a year.\n22 years.\n\n\n80 times 52 times 22 = 91520 \n\nBill Gates' current net worth is estimated to be $26 billion. (I used $20 billion in the original letter because that's the net worth I heard he had last month.) \n\n$26 billion divided by 91520 = $218,531/hour. \n\nOut of curiosity, how much is this above minimum wage? \n\n218,531 subtracted by 5 gives 218,526. \n\nUsing the average hourly income of $218,000/hour, you multiply the average number of hours he works per day (16), by 218,000, and you get $3.5 million (give or take a couple hundred thous.) \n\nBill Gates goes to sleep $3.5 million richer than when he woke up\n\nHe deserves this kinda money for his smart brain.
