Refering to my previous post on 14 things you didn't know about Bill Gates just thought of also posting a few facts about Bill Gates I had earlier. I guess many of you must be knowing about this. May not be exactly but atleast heard a fe wpoints about it. Here it goes:

Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!

If he drops a thousand dollar, he won't even bother to pick it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would've already earned it back.

The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.

He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.

Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn't drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he'll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.

If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.

If you change all of Bill Gate's money to US$1 notes, you can make a road from the earth to moon, 14 times back and forth.
But you have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.

Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he goes to heaven.

Last but not the least:

If Microsoft Windows' users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years

Recently on Sep. 29, 2005 ; I read this news on InformationWeek, which reads Microsoft's Gates, Ballmer Get Raises. This was soon after Microsoft completed it's 30 years

Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, the world's richest man, is worth $51 billion. CEO Ballmer is worth a paltry $14 billion.

Before it becomes a broken link, let me post that here:

Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer each earned $1 million last year, an 11 percent raise over the previous fiscal year, Microsoft Corp. reported in a regulatory filing Wednesday.
Gates, the software company's chairman, and Ballmer, its chief executive, each earned a salary of $600,000 and a bonus of $400,000 for the company's 2005 fiscal year ended June 30.
Ballmer also received $6,300 in matching 401(k) contributions and $2,773 in other benefits. Gates received $2,469 in other benefits, the company said.
For the current fiscal year, the company said in a separate filing that the executives will earn base salaries of $620,000 and will be eligible for bonuses of up to 120 percent of their salaries. In its proxy statement, the company also disclosed that Gates owned 9.55 percent of Microsoft shares, while Ballmer owns 3.85 percent.
According to Forbes magazine, Gates is the world's richest man, worth an estimated $51 billion. Ballmer is worth an estimated $14 billion, the magazine said.

So after this, can someone recalculate the facts?
