95% of Bill Gates wealth is 76 billion which would still leave him with 4 billion dollars. Still more money than I'll ever see

What was the game?
Thereisnosafeword
THE GAME. Which you just lost.
Zordicron
It's funny. In the 90's, Bill Gates was viewed as the poster child of what is wrong with greedy corporate America. I wonder if that had 1/
Zordicron
anything to do with the last decade of his donations etc. I know I wouldn't want to die being known as the face of greed.
xTheMaestro
He studied Carnegie and Rockefeller, also vicious capitalists who used their vast fortunes to help others in their later years.
bipolarmolar
What is this game that cannot be named
YouNowKnowTheMuffinMan
Another fact: when Apple was about to go under, Bill bought 12.5% of Apple's stock to keep them afloat (and avoid antitrust litigation).

Note: anyone is free to make donations to the US government if they feel they aren't paying enough taxes.
rollercostarican
i believe that's called lobbying.
beasttubbs
Stop that! Bill says we should pay more and that's all that matters
jegred2
The government doesn't need more money, they just need to stop spending like idiots.
YamatoIouko
Yeah, like all that money we drop on our overbloated military.
jegred2
We have been downsizing the military, a lot. Also, military is one of the legit things that the constitution gives the feds power to do.
YamatoIouko
"Downsizing." Unless they're literally turning the military budget into fractions of what it was, that's not enough.
MakingUpAUsernameIsTerrifying
Bill Gates received an honorary knighthood: Only people who are subjects to the Queen can receive an actual knighthood. But still.
xXMaleficentXx
Just curious, where is he from?
Erkhyan
Born in the good old Northwestern U.S.
moldboy
It really is too bad it's only honorary because "Sir William Henry Gates the Third" sounds awesome!
ZeDestructor
I'll let you in on a secret: you can call him that if you want to ;)
marquisdechocula
Oh just an honorary knighthood, so he doesn't actually joust and go on quests?
ButterfaceTaintClown
You don't need to be a knight to joust or go on quests. In fact, that's how many earnt their knighthoods...
CornCobMcGee
no he can do that. you just dont need to call him Sir Gates. youre allowed to call him Happypants McSquigglydoo if your heart so desired
jugRn0t
I am now inclined to remake this gallery, replacing every instance of "Bill Gates" with "Happypants McSquigglydoo".
farwall
Not sure why but Sir is one of those titles where it always combines with the 1st name so it's Sir Bill or Sir Bill gates but not Sir Gates.
CornCobMcGee
huh. Today i learned something
farwall
I always like how they all combine, like the title Lord always goes with the surname so if he had both it would be Sir Bill Lord Gates.
pridleywiddleywoooaaahh
Good Guy Bill Gates.
ButterfaceTaintClown
He can JUMP A FUCKING CHAIR. Try it. JUST TRY IT. I got a broken hip that says Bill Gates can do some special super hero shit.
wheredoesthetimego
Wondering aloud if much or any of the good he's done since he's made his fortune is motivated consciously or sub consciously by guilt 1/2

For what he, himself, called stealing. Not that it diminishes that good in any way, just thinking about the psychological motivation. 2/2

To anyone who says "See, I don't need college", this is only true if you are already one of the worlds best programmers.
justbake
Bill Gates is NOT one of the world's best programmers. That is not what made him successful.
YamatoIouko
He was a corporate BEAST; the man knew how to run a company and get what he wanted. THAT was why he was successful.
demonjester1515
That's a pretty silly statement. Even if you're saying "because he stole ideas" he still had the technical mojo to bring those ideas to life
justbake
Doesn't mean he wasn't a skilled programmer.
demonjester1515
I'm saying I think he indeed was/is a skilled programmer.
justbake
yes, but doesn't make him "one of the world's best". He does code occasionally still.
KaiHerrera
But he was! can you program on assembler directly to control de BIOS of a computer? or access a framebuffer or simply write IO routines? ??
KaiHerrera
And i mean x86 assembler, no c or c++ or c# or java, that's what these guys used back then, they wrote their own basic interpreters..

Yes, but I would understand if you didn't want to donate 95% of your wealth whilst working on minimum wage.

I don't know about that unless you're talking about more than just donating money. I personally am always straddling the $0 mark.
mouschi
Generous doesn't mean giving money.
ItExistsInTheMoment
If I had the money, I would totally donate it so that it could go to good use...but the most I can give is two arms and some time.
FatBastardVegetarian
Of course. Can you imagine having billions of dollars and not giving most of it away? I can't.
Swiss54
It's easier said than done, which is why the rich should pay significantly higher taxes. No one wants to just give away their money.
BoxesofFoxes
Except Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
Swiss54
I mean, I guess I shouldn't have said "no one". Just most.

I suppose it is for some of us. I'm personally of the same opinion. Money just holds no pull on me beyond food/clothes/bills.

Why is he not already?

Because he is too smart to get caught up in politics.

Because you don't get anything done as a president. He'd probably have more influence out of office.

he wouldn't do it. he has a world to save, not a country to run.

I read this and actually said "oh, boom" out loud.

well, the president has less power to improve lives than bill gates. The president's power is mostly to blow things up without congress

That's actually an extremely deep statement, it's so important that it was said. People often forget there's more to the world than the US.
