The richest man in the world makes more money in one year than some small countries. In fact, this man has made over 1 million dollars for every hour he has worked since 1975 (Mirick 22). The person is Bill Gates and he is revered as a very rich and powerful man in the world of technology and business.
Bill Gates is most famous for founding the Microsoft Corporation. His software and new ideas have transformed personal computing throughout the world. His idea of “a computer in every household and business” has come true (http://www.microsoft. com/billgates/bio.asp). Bill Gates has used his excellent education and love of computers to make himself a rich and powerful entrepreneur.
William Henry Gates III was born on October 28th 1955 in Seattle, Washington (Codim 17). Bills father, Bill Gates Jr., worked as a lawyer for a law firm and his mother, Mary, worked as a school teacher. Bill had an older sister, Kristanne, and a younger sister named Libby (http://www.teamgates.com/library/life.htm). Ever since Bill was born his family members gave him the nickname of Trey, after the III in his name (Dearlove 2).
Bill’s parents knew that he was an exceptional child and should get a better education than he would receive

Below are additional random excerpts from the paper...
While still attending Harvard, Paul Allen came to Bill with some exciting news. The company MITS was releasing a new computer, but it needed software to run. The two worked hard on writing a BASIC program to run the computer and in 1975 the MITS Altair booted up with their program (Reitz 8). In April of 1975 Gates and Allen sold their BASIC program to MITS, NCR, and Intel. They both dropped out of school and founded the Microsoft Corporation (http://www.teamgates.com/library/life.htm).
On January 1, 1994 Bill Gates married his co-worker Melinda French. Since then he and his wife have had 3 children (http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/bio.asp). Bill and Melinda built a 97 million dollar mansion on the shores of Lake Washington. They both live a modest lifestyle, driving a normal family car to work and even flying coach. They both enjoy reading and playing golf and bridge (http://www.microsoft.com/billgates /bio.asp).
Some people, as well as many businesses, consider Bill Gates to be the Anti-Christ and he has made many enemies. One of these enemies has been the Federal Government. From 1998-2001 Gates and Microsoft were investigated for allegedly having a monopoly on the software industry (Dearlove 91). In November 1999 the U.S. District Court declared Microsoft a monopoly and ordered them to split into two divisions: software and operating system (http://search.biography.com/print_ record.pl?id=15061). In July 2001 the Federal Appeals Court overturned the monopoly decision and they were allowed to operate as usual (Dearlove 92).
