A rare and remarkable interview with the world's second richest man-Bill Gates - Polidicks

[QUOTE=ken188;30443842]Sucks they have to use a Zune.[/QUOTE] zunes kick ass

I wonder if he likes Star Trek :v:

D'aww, Bill Gates is such an inspiring man. 28$ Billion to charity? That's a fuck-ton of money, even [b]if[/b] you are the worlds second richest man.

If I had that much money, I'd also give most of it away. Why? Cause I could get anyhing I want with "just" one billion dollars.

[QUOTE=person11;30445884]If I had that much money, I'd also give most of it away. Why? Cause I could get anyhing I want with "just" one billion dollars.[/QUOTE] You couldn't get a dinosaur with just one billion dollars :colbert:

When you get into the billions, money essentially becomes meaningless. Even if you spent thousands of pounds every single day you would never make a dent into your savings. I fail to see why more people are not like Mr Gates. If you are fortunate enough to have more wealth than most small African nations surely it is just common sense to share what you have with people who cannot afford basic vaccinations for their children. Bravo Bill, Bravo.

[QUOTE=Whomobile;30443136]Bill seems like such a nice guy, why can't all rich tycoons be like him? money is no good when your dead.[/QUOTE] He's almost a modern Andrew Carnegie.

It's probably hard being a rich parent and yet not spoiling your kids.

[QUOTE=person11;30445884]If I had that much money, I'd also give most of it away. Why? Cause I could get anyhing I want with "just" one billion dollars.[/QUOTE] "Just one billion dollars" Fuck off, if Bill Gates sent me $1 I'd lock it away in a safe and pray to it as my god.

Shame he made that money through fucking over his customers and other companies

one million will fix all my life, Bill have soo much life ;(

[QUOTE=FluD;30446655]one million will fix all my life, Bill have soo much life ;([/QUOTE] One million will fix your entire life? You either have very little life or you're 13. 1 million dollars is not a lot of money. Sure it's more than most people have, but it's not enough for an entire life. Unless you put it in bank for interest, but I don't see how waiting years for the interest will fix your life.

Most people in developed countries, even without college degrees, make one million during their lifetimes.

Well, that's funny how his kids asked for an iPad I woulda slapped the shit out of them ahahaha

[QUOTE=Jasun;30446140]You couldn't get a dinosaur with just one billion dollars :colbert:[/QUOTE] With just 20 billion, he could fund Jurassic Park for 40 years, easily.

He's an awesome guy. I only just discovered some of the videos of him and Steve Ballmer about a week ago, I like how they have a sense of humour [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY2j_GPIqRA[/media]

Him and Gabe Newell are good guys.

10 million? Those poor kids, how will they eat? Seriously, I could quite happily live on that sum... I'd probably still work though anyway to give me something to do

Does anyone even know how rich Gabe is? I know since Valve's a private company no one actually knows how much they're worth

And still I hear and see people that go about saying "LOL Micro$oft and Bill Gates R evil !!1!" I wish all rich people could be like him.

[QUOTE=hehe;30443117]He's one of the few billionaires I actually have respect for. Didn't he say he was going to give away 90% of his fortune when he passed away?[/QUOTE] No that's Steve Jobs.

Bill Gates is a really cool guy, totally not what you'd expect from someone with that much money. Though I still wonder, why the hell does he always wear blue?

if i had ten million dollars, i would build gm_construct in real life. then fly garry over to check it out.

[QUOTE=Coffee;30450193]As long as you're not stupid with spending you can live the rest of your life off £100,000[/QUOTE] no you can't

[QUOTE=B3vvo^;30450423]No that's Steve Jobs.[/QUOTE] and Jackie Chan

Bill gates is a cool guy. Don't need to be a windows fanboy to know that. He's very thoughtful.

[QUOTE=Matrix374;30450960]and Jackie Chan[/QUOTE] No that's Bill Gates. He asked Steve Jobs to jump in with him.
