Bill Gates is the Creator of Microsoft. Most likely you already knew that but some people think as him as a monster. They think he is a theif who made the digital world a place where inferior products drive out even better ones. Playing Devils Advocate we learn that Bill not only created Microsoft but has also donated billions of dollars to good causes year long. So the question remains, who is Bill Gates? First let's talk more about him. Bill Gates is a billionaire who has not only sold millions of products but has also changed the world. When he was born in 1955 no one in the world owned a personal computer. None were for sale and the computers that were invented at the time only belonged to the government and or big businesses. Not only was Bill incredibly smart but determined as well. He and his friend Paul Allen were not just friends but the co-creators of Microsoft. Then as an adult he became a famed computer programmer and became a billionaire. Now that you know a little about him you should learn a little about his family as well, specifically his children. Did you know that Bill Gates' children will inherit 10 million dollars out of Bill's 72 billion net worth? His children, Rory, Phoebe, and Jennifer will each get the 10 million but Bill says they don't need that kind of money. What would you do if your dad told you that you don't get one million big ones? I'd be pretty outraged. Anyways the source I got this from was HERE. On slide 2 you should be able to see the slide on his children. Also there are a lot of other fun facts on there but I thought that one was pretty interesting.

You might look at the year you say he was born. I do remember computers before 1995. It's great that he is trying to do good in the world with all his money. What would you really need more than 10 million dollars for?
