You know Bill Gates is the head of Microsoft Company and the world's richest man. But what

else do you know about him? See what we found for you on the internet:

第 3 页 共 14 页

Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955. His full name is William Henry Gates III. (Editor's

note: Bill is the pet name of William. )

He was born and grew up in Seattle, USA.

He entered Harvard University in 1973 but dropped out(退学) in 1975.

If you change all of Bill Gate's money to 1-dollar notes, you can make a road from the earth to

the moon, about 10 times back and forth (来回).

He can donate(捐款) 7 dollars to everyone on the earth and still has around $ 50 million for his

pocket money.

In 1996, Bill Clinton won the US Presidential Election(美国总统大选) with a total of

47,401,185 votes(选票). If Bill Gates wanted to be President, he could easily pay each voter(投票者) 870 dollars and buy 47,401,186 votes(one more than Clinton got) with his money.

If Michael Jordan doesn't drink and eat, and keeps up his income(收入), $30 million each year,

he'll have to wait for more than 150 years to become as rich as Bill Gates.
