    you do know gates is worth over 85 billion dollars right? warren buffet is giving 85% of his fortune to gates's foundation. and gates will ALWAYS be the chairman and leading stockholder of microsoft.

    Gates is gonna build a ----ing deathstar or something i swear.

    Agree. If not, it would be such a shame.

    Too bad Gates promised to donate millions of dollars to charity...not that that's bad but he's not going to have all his money and the compay is going to take a blow.

    Philanthropy is actually a very good strategy to get rich(er) =/

    You said that and you're telling him he's not funny?

    All the rich ppl have foundations. Basically, then people will think they're giving back to the community and stuff and they will buy more of their products. Although I think he actually cares about it though. After all, he could have gotten any hot girl he wanted, but his wife... isn't really. Apparently she's really smart though. :rofl:
