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 dollar, 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 earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But you have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.
8. Bill Gates is 40 this year. 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 can go to heaven.

The last one really surprised me! It's that big. I want to be his daughter! I can spend that kind of money in one day! hahaha.. just joking. But if i was his daughter, i guess i wouldn't be happy having a money like that. Material stuff is just temporary, and im happy the way I live, seeing the numbers written in here didn'y create a pang of envy at all.
thanks for sharing this! :))

Just goes to show that after a certain level, money is almost meaningless. I do applaud Bill for having achieved something like this in his lifetime.
I have not really validated the money calculations - but there is one little error.
Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 making him 52 years old in October 2007.
Thank you for the info.
Cheers!
