For a very long time, Bill Gates has held down his position as the richest man in the world. Though few times he's been knocked out but it never takes too long before he gets back his prestigious title, 'The richest man in the world
His road to riches began when he was a tech-obsessed 13-year-old student at Lakeside School in Seattle, Washington. As Gates recalled in a 2005 speech, the school's "mothers club came up with the money to buy a teletype that connected over the phone lines with a GE time-sharing computer."

This machine seriously transformed Bill's life. He spent a lot of time learning about computers, hacking and coding. Himself and a school friend named Paul Allen bonded over their love of technology. They later co-founded Microsoft.
Here's a comprehensive infographic created by Anna Vital that explores Gates' incredibly journey:

In 2000, Gates stepped down as CEO of Microsoft, and in 2014, he stepped down as chairman.
Today, he runs one of the world's biggest nonprofits with his wife, former Microsoft executive and philanthropist Melinda Gates. In his spare time, he meets with experts, reads books voraciously and speaks about the future. - Jazzomoney
