1.Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!
2.If he drops a thousand dollars, he won't even bother to pick it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would've already earned it back.
3.The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.
4.He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
5.Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn't drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he'll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.
6.If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.
7.If you change all of Bill Gate's money to US$1 notes, you can make a road from the earth to moon, 14 times back and forth.! But you 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 is 47. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he goes to heaven.
Last but not the least: If Microsoft Windows' users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years!!!

1... This is a proof of how smart and intelligent he is. He doesnt make that money by brute force or by threatening anybody else, but the world is happy to give him money because of the benefit (the software) that they receive from him.
2... He doesn't lose money, he creates even more, he is not a lazy man.
3... That shows how stupid are the usual people there and their govt, too, if they have so huge debts ... They just U.S.E. money, they don't O.W.N. money in that country... Silly poors .... Their debt to China increases year by year ... so how they could despise a country that help them year by year, the beggars ?
4... He donated 30 BN and will donate another 29 BN received from Warren Buffet so in fact you're right, he is going to donate during the time that $15 ( he already started with $3 until now)
5... Jordan doesn't need that much money, let's be serious now ! People love him that is what matters. When you have a nice house , car, and wife, there are no many things to add or contribute dramatically to your life style, even another 2 or 20 Mill in your account !! I hope everyone that reads here will not need to reach their old age to agree with me, or else would be a big idiot since their youth age...
6... He and his team are a "country" (same phylosophy and way of living), they are a digital nation that lives inside of our computers in a big part of their time.
7... That is useless. I dont think you made even 1 cent by just thinking to that. That's why he has the money and you just think to them.
8... You could make the same money until your 70-ies, but you are very busy to think about him not you making money.
Are you still there ? :) I didnt thought so ...

I have read all of this before as I have read it in an e-mail. But here is an interesting thought.... When Bill Gates first began with Steve Jobs they played hell trying to get a loan to get their company off the ground since everyone thought they were not "Economically Feasible". Hmmmmmmm......"Economically Feasible", became Economical GIANTS and I bet all of those that told them no before are kicking themselves in the s$$ now and have been for years!!
Thank you for a great discussion and have a great day!!

He's definitely the richest man in the world, but he has worked hard for it. I am impressed with his charitable donations, especially to the severely HIV/AIDS stricken areas of the world. He may be rich, but he hasn't lost his humanity.

Bill Gates is the biggest mercenary in the world. He milks millions out of buggy operating systems. People are dumb enough to buy Windows, so Bill will continue becoming rich.
The best solution is to stop admiring him and start looking for other cheaper alternatives like Linux Operating System.

Bill Gates is someone I really admire. But he is not 47. He is 51. I know this because I am 50 and he was born on 28 October 1955, and I was born on 28 October 1956. He made it one year before me.
Also about the dollar note. He will lose money if he does not pick it up. Because he is not the person earning the money. It is the businesses that earn for him. If he is lazy and calls one of the managers to pick it up then he will lose money.
I love your last sentence. I have already opened a Creditors account for him and the balance is about $2000 now.
