About Bill Gates:

William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955),
is an American business magnate, philanthropist, 
the world's third richest man (as of 2008), 
and chairman of Microsoft, the software company 
he founded with Paul Allen.

Gates married Melinda French from Dallas, Texas 
on January 1, 1994. They have three children: 
Jennifer Katharine Gates (1996), Rory John Gates 
(1999) and Phoebe Adele Gates (2002). Bill Gates 
house is a 21st century earth-sheltered home in 
the side of a hill overlooking Lake Washington 
in Medina, Washington. According to King County 
public records, as of 2006, the total assessed 
value of the property (land and house) is 
$125 million, and the annual property tax is 
$991,000. Also among Gates private acquisitions 
is the Codex Leicester, a collection of writings 
by Leonardo da Vinci, which Gates bought for 
$30.8 million at an auction in 1994. 

Gates was number one on the "Forbes 400" list from 
1993 through to 2007 and number one on Forbes list 
of "The World's Richest People" from 1995 to 2007. 
In 1999, Gates's wealth briefly surpassed $101 
billion, causing the media to call him a 
"centibillionaire".Since 2000, the nominal 
value of his Microsoft holdings has declined due 
to a fall in Microsoft's stock price after the 
dot-com bubble and the multi-billion dollar 
donations he has made to his charitable foundations. 
In a May 2006 interview, Gates commented that he 
wished that he were not the richest man in the 
world because he disliked the attention it brought.
