What is the story of Bill Gates?
Bill Gates, in full William Henry Gates III, (born October 28, 1955, Seattle, Washington, U.S.), American computer programmer and entrepreneur who cofounded Microsoft Corporation, the world's largest personal-computer software company.
Bill Gates is worth roughly $133 billion as of Jan. 13, 2021. 1 He earned the bulk of his fortune as CEO, chairman, and chief software architect of Microsoft (MSFT). Gates stepped down as chairman in 2014, but still owns 1.34% of the company he co-founded.
In 1975, the MITS Altair 8800 was released based on the Intel 8080 CPU, and Gates and Allen saw the opportunity to start their own computer software company. Gates dropped out of Harvard that same year. His parents were supportive of him after seeing how much he wanted to start his own company.
