Bill Gates. I remember the first computer that our family owned, and it was a gateway 2000. I remember it because i thought it was the best thing ever, we could play games on it and surf the web! (on dial-up) I am betting is that this is how bill gates started to make some serious money, when he started selling computers to every family. Since then they have come out with Windows 95, 98, 2000, xbox, xbox 360's Windows Vista, Windows 7. This whole time, he has been racking in the dough, here is a link to how xbox 360's sold more than Wii or PS3 combined,

and since microsoft produces all of the softwere for all computers and every home has a computer, that is like 50 bucks from EVERYONE in the United States. This is how Bill Gates has been the wealthyest man 14 of the last 15 years in a row.
Here is a video of what Bill Gates could but with all of his wealth.


Oh my goodness, he could buy 700,000,000 SUV's That is enough for everyone in America! Lets face it, this guys family is never going to have to work for the next 1000 years.
