some facts about billgates 1.Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR! 2.If he drops a thousand dollars, he won't even bother to pick it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would've already earned it back. 3.The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years. 4.He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money. 5.Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn't drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he'll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now. 6.If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth. 7.If you change all of Bill Gate's money to US$1 notes, you can make a road from the earth to moon, 14 times back and forth.! But you have to make that road non-stop for 1400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money. 8.Bill Gates is 47. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he goes to heaven. Last but not the least: If Microsoft Windows' users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years!!!

I admire Bill Gates because of his intelligence and his business sense. Without both of these qualities he would never have been a rich man

I have admired Bill Gates for a long time. I have a copy of Entrepreneur magazine with him on the cover and carry it in my briefcase. He has inspired me to want to become an entreprenuer. I admired him most until recently for him coming up with an idea and a product that everyone can use. Given it may have been IBM or Apples original idea, but look at how many use Microsoft products? Windows, Office. The way we communicate I believe he has something partially to do with getting us there. The other reason why I admire him is now he has switched gears and has the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation. Philanthropy is getting much attention and he is doing good things by giving back and helping those less fortunate. It is rare for someone who has made a fortune to also bring awareness of issues going on with third world countries such as AIDS, Malaria, famine and poverty to name a few. He is a good role model.

i admire him because of what he has achieved...i high school drop-out and the richest man in the world does seem hard to swallow for many people...i admire him for his brains...when microsoft or rather bill gates actually took IBM's DOS and made a few tweaks and called it MS-DOS..and then got it patented...he surely has some brain!

I admire him because he made his vision into reality. He's also not greedy. He has a lot of programs and contributes equipment to the less fortunate just so that they can be technologically inclined and wouldn't be left out in the technological age.

I admire Bill Gates because he is an intelligent and great person and I don't admire people because they are wealthy. He is not an arrogant and glamorous person although he is very rich man in the world. He has built his own company from ground-up. He is a person who can be a full inspiration for others. He is also a philanthropist who wants to help people who are less fortune than his. This is what I am seeing now.

Bill Gates have a great talent, I think there will not be a man that will do the same of he has created in these years, he is a simply a brilliant man.

I don't like Microsoft, but I do admire Bill Gates. Mainly because I share similar views with him, and he's done a lot for charity.
