"The Richest Man"

Bill Gates

Bill Gates founder and CEO of his own company Microsoft is known for lavish technology and extreme wealth.  What we don't know about Gates is that before he used his knowledge of computers, computer programming and marketing to start his own company he and his partner at the time Paul Allen, dedicated their time to what they called the Traf- O Data in which they had very little success. The message behind this is that Bill Gates was not a billionaire since day one. Dedication & passion has led him to great success and wealth at the age of 58. Although he is by the book no longer the number one on the Forbes Billionaire List he did not let his failure negatively effect where he could have been today. Take it how you want it.
