Say what you want, I love this guy

I always admired this fellow. When he was 22, he was managing a growing software company, with cutting edge technology; interacting with Steve Jobs, IBM, Oracle, and the whole computer community--creating the world in which we live. When I was 22 I was probably working on the muffler of my car wondering what was for dinner. :dead:

I always admired about him, how he remained somewhat modest despite his wealth. You'd think an x-geek would go on an ego spree, trying to catch up on all the women and parties he wasn't invited to at his teens

He is indeed. He's done some great things with his money.

OMG, I would probably do that even now if I came into that kind of $$$ :88)

Well, I was married at 22... I did my tail chasing before and after ;)

Did the same, seemed to work out pretty well in the end.
Gates' Rule #1 is pretty much the philosophy I live my life by:
Life isn't fair.

3. His three children, currently aged 15, 12 and nine, will reportedly inherit $10 million each (although Gates wouldn't disclose that amount in the interview), a slender sliver of his $56 billion net worth, because Gates says, "I don't think that amount of money would be good for them."


Is this before obama economic policies or after?

[nikimcbee]

humbug the money, I'll pick Motodude over Gates any day.:03:

Okay, the money is cool.:hmmm:

He was on Sky News an hour or so ago pledging over $6 million to help ensure every child in the third worrld receives the necessary innoculations shortly after birth :sunny:
