Like many other successful tech entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs, Google’s Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerbergs, Bill Gates was a college dropout. He left Harvard University in 1975 to fully devote himself to Microsoft.
Gates earned an honorary degree from Harvard in 2007, thirty-two years after dropping out.
Two years after he dropped out of Harvard, Gates was arrested in New Mexico. He was driving without a license and ran a red light.
Despite his immense wealth, Gates says that his kids will inherit only $10 million each — just a fraction of his $81.1 billion net worth. “Leaving kids massive amounts of money is not a favor to them,” he says.
Gates says that he reads 50 books a year. Gates says that “reading is still the main way that I both learn new things and test my understanding.”
The private school he attended as a child was one of the only schools in the US with a computer. The first program he ever used was a tic-tac-toe game.
Although it’s been widely reported that Gates hacked his prep school computers, he reportedly wrote the class scheduling program himself and added a feature that would place him in classes with mostly female students.
The 66,000 sq ft. Gates estate in Washington took seven years and $63 million to build.
