Features: Bill Gates, born in Seattle, USA in 1955. His parents and maternal grandfather were all successful individuals. Gates can be said to have grown up in a relatively affluent family. At the age of 12, he entered Lakeside School for studies and soon became exposed to computers, developing a strong interest in them. At 13, he wrote his first computer program; at 18, he enrolled at Harvard University and, along with his friend Paul Allen, founded Microsoft during his sophomore year. That same year, he made the bold decision to drop out of school and devoted himself entirely to his career. Today, Microsoft has long become the world's most valuable company, and Gates himself has repeatedly ranked as the world's richest person. At the same time, he is also a respected philanthropist dedicated to public causes.
