What most people know about Bill gates is that he is the Chairman of Microsoft (formerly CEO), but what they do not know is that he is also the Chairman of Corbis, CEO of Cascade Investment, Director of Berkshire Hathaway and the Co-Chair of Bill & Melinda gates Foundation. Bill gates found Microsoft together with Paul Allen on April 4th in 1975 and he remained the CEO until the year 2000, when he vacated the office of the CEO of Microsoft and became the chief software architect. Except in the year 2008, Bill gates had been the richest person in the world starting from 1995 to 2009. At this moment, he is the non-executive Chairman of Microsoft.
William Henry “Bill” Gates III was born in Seattle, Washington on 28th October in 1955. Later in 1973, after scoring an almost perfect 1590 out of 1600 in SAT, he moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts to study in Harvard. He currently resides in his 66,000 sq. ft. mansion which spreads over an area of 5 acres just beside lake Washington in Medina, Washington. Unlike most celebrities, the house of Bill gates is a well known place and one can also get to know the exact address on a few websites. This of course calls for extra security measures and to achieve that, every guest must keep a tracking chip with him/her at all times so that their movements are constantly monitored. Complete with security cameras, special guards and automatic sensors, the Bill Gates Mansion is as safe as it can be.
