Bill Gates
William Henry "Bill" Gates III was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington state. His father was a well-known lawyer and his mother was a director of a bank.
At 13 he started at the Lakeside School, an expensive private school. When he was in the eighth grade, the school bought a computer terminal that connected to the General Electric computer. The school students were allowed to access the General Electric computer at certain times during the day. The young Gates was fascinated by the perfect way that the computer worked, but he found ways to trick it into giving him extra time. For this reason he was later banned from using it. He graduated from Lakeside School in 1973 with very high scores and went to Harvard University - one of the most famous in America.
In 1975 he read about a new personal computer - the Altair 8800. The company that made it – MITS – did not yet have any software for it. So Gates and his friend, Paul Allen, wrote a programme and showed it to MITS. They liked it and gave Allen a job.  Gates got permission to leave Harvard temporarily and go to MITS to work with Allen. In November 1975, they set up their own company called "Micro-Soft". Within a year, they dropped the hyphen and on November 26, 1976, they registered the trade name "Microsoft.” Gates never returned to Harvard to complete his studies. The rest, as they say, is history.
As an executive, Gates was a hard boss. He met regularly with Microsoft's senior managers. His management style was very aggressive and he often interrupted presentations with such comments such as, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" 
Microsoft made Gates into one of the richest men in the world, and he held the title World’s Richest Person from 2003 – 2007. In 2006 Gates announced that he would leave Microsoft, and spend his time doing charity work. In 2000, he set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the largest charitable organizations in the world. By 2007, Gates and his wife Melinda had given over $28 billion to charity.
Gates married Melinda French on January 1, 1994. They have two daughters, Jennifer, born in 1996 and Phoebe , born in 2002. They also have a son, Rory, born in 1999.
