I would definitely return it to him, and hope that he gave me a reward for it... I don't see myself going anywhere near where the guy lives, but hey stranger things have happened!

If I found his wallet, I'll return it to him personally. Then, get his autograph and be friend with him.

Yup. By doing so, I can remain my integrity and at the same time can have a famous person as my friend. Why not?

I would think that he would still carry a little cash for things. I mean, if he wanted to get some gum from a gas station he wouldn't charge it...the possiblity is still there...

Bill Gates is probably like the Queen and never carries cash Anyway, I'd return it of course - contents intact.

You never know... I always keep some cash on hand for various things like tipping, soda machines, etc.

Absolutely, I'd return it. I'm not a thief. If he wanted to reward me, that would be most welcome, but I wouldn't ask him for a reward just for doing the right thing.

The guy would not have a loaded Wallet in the first place.He would have all his Wealth and other things stored in Mobile and any other High End Gadget.Anyway I would return the wallet to him as this would be a great opportunity to meet him and befriend him!

Well, to some people a "significant amount of cash" could be $100. To others it could be $1000. It is feasible to believe that he would have some cash on him for certain things like tipping and such. Returning the wallet would be a great way to meet him though!

I would definitely return it. The best that could happen would be that I'd get a reward, the worst that could happen would be nothing. If I kept it the best that could happen would be ill-gotten money, the worst that could happen would be that I'd be arrested for theft.

I would definitely return it too, money intact. I just could not steal it no matter how bad off I was or how well off the person was.

well to be totally honest the little devil would be saying oh keep it keep some of it and the little angel would be no no no give it back. After the good verses evil battle that went on in my mind I would give it back. It would be nice to receive a reward but it would not be expected. Isn't bill gates the one that started with his own riches a charity to help improve America's schools? If so I bet he is a nice enough guy that he would do something nice for an honest person. People work to hard for their money no matter how rich they are they don't deserve to be stolen from.
