At least he actually made his wealth from building something. Unlike a lot of others.


Nope. He made a lot of money from Windows certainly but like all the super-wealthy he made the vast majority of his present fortune simply from having money. Nobody reaches that level of wealth by the sweat of their brow. It is investment managers and accountants and tax advisors who made his wealth. All Gates does these days is sit back and watch it roll in.
