Bill Gates is truly one of the most famous people in the whole world. In addition, he is also the richest person, according to the Forbes magazine rankings. Why is he so famous and how did he achieve such fame?
As Bill Gates himself notes, his path to wealth and fame began at the age of 13, because it was then that he began to seriously get involved in programming. Prior to that, young Bill graduated from a municipal elementary school and went to classes at a private school, in which his talent as a programmer was discovered.
The next step towards becoming the richest person in the world was studying at Harvard University. Already in the first year of study, he managed to write the first programming language for minicomputers and successfully implemented it. Further, the life of Bill Gates was closely associated with Microsoft. It should be emphasized here that he founded the company long before that, but its development practically stopped and, starting from the third year of study at the university, it began to develop at an accelerated pace thanks to many new products in the field of computer software. These novelties were naturally developed by Bill himself.
The next stage is the development of not only the company, but also the entire area of work of the future billionaire. To this end, Gates opens many branches in all corners of the world, monitoring their work using e-mail and daily reports. The main thing in the management of such cases was efficiency and careful selection of personnel.
Bill Gates has always emphasized that hard work is the key to a successful business. Only hard daily work, many of our own developments and the gift of foreseeing the need for the development of this particular field of activity were able to give an ordinary student a billion-dollar fortune, fame and success.
Considering the current situation, Gates' company revenues are in the order of $ 20 billion annually. Naturally, such profits will keep this person in the first position in Forbes magazine ratings for a long time, even if he continues to engage in charity work, giving away a significant part of his capital.
