14 Cooll Facts About Bill Gates by gbenga195(m): 8:01pm On Jul 20, 2013
14 cool things about Bill Gates.
I did some findings on the
computer-geek/philantrophist-
Bill Gates. Here what i've got to
share:
Fact 1: As of 2011, his fortune
is worth$59 billion.
Fact 2: Gates told his university
teachers he would be a
millionaire by age 30. He
became a billionaire at age31.
Fact 3: Gates graduated high
school in 1973 and scored
1590 of 1600( approx 99% )
on the SAT.
Fact 4: He is married to Melinda
Gate and has 3 children
Fact 5: The first computer
program that he wrote was a
tic-tac-toe game that allowed
people to play against the
computer.
Fact 6: Bill Gates enjoys playing
tennis, golf and bridge.
Fact 7: Bill Gates earns about $
250 every second
Fact 8: He created his first
venture – Traf-O-Data , at the
age 17 with Paul Allen to make
traffic counters built on the
Intel 8008processor.
Fact 9: Bill Gates functioned as a
congressional page in the U.S.
House of Representatives in
year 1973.
Fact 10: Bill Gates is very active
on Twitter but not on
Facebook, despite Mark
Zuckerberg and he reportedly
getting along well. Themain
reason he cites for his absence
from the social network?“The
friend requests got out of
hand…”
Fact 11: Bill Gates loves
travelling and visits India almost
every year for the upliftment of
the poor.
Fact 12: And here comes the
clincher: If Microsoft Windows’
users can claim just 1 dollar for
every time their computers
hang because of Microsoft
Windows, Bill Gates will be
bankrupt in 3 days!
Fact 13: Gates’ children will
inherit a ‘minuscule portion’ of
his wealth “I don’t think that
amount of money would be
good for them. They have to
find their own way. They will be
given an unbelievableeducation
and that will all be paid for. And
certainly anything related to
health issues we will take care
of. But in terms of their income,
they will have to pick a job they
like and go to work,” Gates
said.
Fact 14 Gates prefers his
foundation work to working at
Microsoft “If people look and
see that childhood deaths
dropped from nine million a
year to four million because of
our investment, then wow! I
liken what I’m doing now to my
old job. I worked with a lot of
smart people; some things
went well, some didn’t go so
well. But when you see how
what we did ended up
empowering people, it’s a very
cool thing,” said Bill Gates, who
retired from Microsoft in 2008.
