So...How rich is Bill Gates really?



According to THIS site Bill Gates wealth, at this very moment, amounts to no less than $33.28 billion. How much money is that? Well, imagine an endless line of $1 bills laid end to end. If you began traveling along this line picking up dollar bills March 13, 1986 (the day Microsoft went public), and you wished to accumulate wealth at the same rate Bill has since that date, you would need to travel that line of bills picking them up at 20.51 MPH or 33.01 KPH! Scooping up money at 33 KPH since 1986!

Put in another way: Gates has made $58.79 per second ever since MS went public! That sums up to a LOT of money by now!

Go visit Bill Gates Net Worth Page to find more ways to present Bill Gates wealth, so that it makes sense to the average reader.
