Indeed. I was very surprised when I read Gates owns about 4.5 percent of the $277 billion company and is its largest individual shareholder. I thought he still had most of his personal fortune in MSFT. It probably helps him that he didn't.
If he has other agendas and interests, it could be time to move on. Then again, wouldn't it help to have him buy in to any big strategic moves?
- samatman 13y ago4.5 percent of $277 billion is 12.4 billion. Bill Gates is worth $72 billion, so, yes, most of his personal fortune is not in MSFT. If he had only the MSFT stock, however, he would be somewhere around the 34th or 35th richest American.
