Bill Gates demonstrated an interest in computers and softwareat an early age. He entered Harvard University in 1973 where he first met Steve Balmer, the current CEO of Microsoft. In 1975, he began Microsoft with his childhood buddy Paul Allen. Bill Gates decided to leave harvard in order to focus more attention on Microsoft. The rest as they say is history.
Today, he is worth a staggering $52.8 billion . To put this in perspective, consider what can be done with that amount of money
He could pay the salary of President George W. Bush (US$400,000) for 132,000 years
You could win Survivor 52,000 times and still not match up to his fortune
His wealth exceeds the annual budget of Russia.
