BILL GATES – $130 BILLION

Bill Gates is not just a billionaire. He gets credit for his significant contribution to the Microsoft revolution of the ‘70s and ‘80s. The 65-year-old computer genius is the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, which is the reason for his great fortune. Famously known as a business magnate, he is also a software developer, investor, author, and philanthropist.

In his decades in the business, Bill has diversified his wealth. He owns every lavish thing that you can think of, whether mansions or jets. Bill has shares in hotels, garbage haulers, farmlands, and even holds of a rare Leonardo da Vinci notebook. Is it surprising that he has a $130 billion net worth? No, of course, and he knows how to put it into good use. Aside from investing, Bill also focuses on his philanthropic works. He perfectly knows how to give back to people, donating a total of over $36 million to his and his ex-wife’s, Melinda Gates, foundation.
