As a young teenager at Lakeside Prep School, Gates wrote his first computer program on a General Electric computer — it was a version of tic-tac-toe, where you could play against the computer
Like many other successful tech entrepreneurs, Gates was a college dropout. He left Harvard University in 1975 to fully devote himself to Microsoft.
Gates was once arrested in New Mexico, in 1977. He was driving without a license and ran a red light.
Despite his immense wealth, Gates says his kids will only inherit $10 million each — just a fraction of his $81.1 billion net worth. "Leaving kids massive amounts of money is not a favor to them," he says
Gates doesn't know any foreign languages. That, he says, is his biggest regret in life thus far
Gates says if Microsoft hadn't worked out, he probably would've been a researcher for artificial intelligence
