His net worth is estimated to be around 128.8 billion and is consistently ranked among the worlds wealthiest people.Gates grew up in Seattle, Washington, with his parents, an attorney and a schoolteacher, and two sisters. He demonstrated an early aptitude for mathematics and computer programming and attended Lakeside School, a private preparatory school in Seattle where he met and befriended his future business partner, Paul Allen. In 1973, Gates enrolled at Harvard University, but he soon found himself uninterested in his classes and spent much of his time on programming projects. He eventually dropped out of Harvard to focus on developing Microsoft.Gates and Allen started Microsoft in 1975, initially providing software for the Altair 8800, an early personal computer. Microsofts big break came in 1980 when IBM, the leading computer manufacturer at the time, asked the company to provide software for its new PC. Gates and his team produced MS-DOS, which became the standard operating system for IBMs PCs and eventually the majority of personal computers worldwide.Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Microsoft continued to thrive, releasing popular products such as Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, and Internet Explorer. Gates served as CEO of the company until 2000, and then as chairman and Chief Software Architect until 2006. He stepped down from his day-to-day duties at Microsoft in 2008 to focus on his philanthropic work at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which he established with his wife in 2000. The foundations primary focus is on global health and development, education, and fighting poverty in the developing world.Gates has been awarded numerous accolades for his contributions to computer technology and philanthropy.
