BILL GATES
He is an American computer scientist and businessman, founder of Microsoft. He
was born into a wealthy family that provided him with an education at elite centers such
as the Lakeside School (1967-73) and Harvard University (1973-77), taking
into account that he did not finish his studies. Gates and Allen dropped out of college
to dedicate themselves fully to their company and moved to Albuquerque in 1975,
making an early fortune and becoming a multimillionaire by the age of 31.
On April 4, 1975, while still a student at Harvard University, he created the Microsoft software company. In 1985, Gates was named one of the "50 Most Eligible Bachelors". Bill Gates married Melinda French on January 1, 1994, with whom he would have three children. In 2000, together with his wife, he created the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a charity dedicated to health and educational issues whose generous financial endowment comes mainly from his personal fortune. Bill Gates ranked second in the annual list of the greatest personal fortunes collected by Forbes Magazine, behind the Mexican businessman Carlos Slim. Since 2008, the year he left Microsoft, he has been successful in some projects in order to spread this lifestyle. In this sense, together with Peter Thiel (co-founder of the PayPal company), he has supported the creation of artificial eggs based on easy-to-grow plants. In September 2019, Netflix launched a documentary series titled "Bill Gates Under the Magnifying Glass", directed by Davis Gunggenheim, which seeks to understand how the brain of the creator of Microsoft works. On May 3, 2021, he announced the end of his marriage to Melinda French, after 27 years of marriage, through a message posted on his personal Twitter account. Although they end their personal relationship, they will continue to work together at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
