About Gates 關于蓋茨
William Henry "Bill" Gates III is an American business magnate, philanthropist, author, and is chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen. He is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people and was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009, excluding 2008, when he was ranked third. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder, with more than 8 percent of the common stock. He has also authored or co-authored several books.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Although he is admired by many, a number of industry insiders criticize his business tactics, which they consider anticompetitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by the courts. In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill ＆ Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
Gates stepped down as chief executive officer of Microsoft in January 2000. He remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect. In June 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work, and full-time work at the Bill ＆ Melinda Gates Foundation. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie, chief software architect, and Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer. Gates'last full-time day at Microsoft was June 27, 2008. He remains at Microsoft as non-executive chairman.
比爾·蓋茨是美國微軟公司的董事長。他與保羅·艾倫一起創(chuàng)建了微軟公司，曾任微軟CEO和首席軟件設計師，并持有公司超過8%的普通股，也是公司最大的個人股東。1995年到2007年的《福布斯》全球億萬富翁排行榜中，比爾·蓋茨連續(xù)13年蟬聯(lián)世界首富。2008年6月27日正式退出微軟公司，并把580億美元個人財產盡數捐到比爾與美琳達·蓋茨基金會 ，2011年，比爾·蓋茨以560億美元資產名列福布斯全球富豪榜第2位。
從退學建立微軟，到成為世界首富，蓋茨只用了20年的時間，被美國人譽為"坐在世界巔峰的人"。曾經有人計算過，比爾·蓋茨擁有的財富可以買31.57架航天飛機，或者344架波音747，拍攝268部《泰坦尼克號》，買15.6萬部勞斯萊斯產的本特利大陸型豪華轎車。蓋茨把他的大量個人財富捐獻給了慈善事業(yè)。據統(tǒng)計，蓋茨至今已為世界各地的慈善事業(yè)捐出近290億美元的財富，成為世界上最慷慨的富人。他在倫敦慶祝自己50歲生日的時候，對在場的記者表示，名下的巨額財富對他個人而言，不僅是巨大的權利，也是巨大的義務，他準備把這些財富全部捐獻給社會，而不會作為遺產留給自己的兒女。
