Bill Gates: The business leader

When you think of Bill Gates you think of money. he is probably the richest man on earth. But it did not come easy he had to work for it. He always had a lot but never as much as he has now. His net worth is around 56 billion, making him on the top of the list for billionaires.

He grew up having a lot of money because his dad was a lawyer and his mom served on a board of a bank. He has a younger sister and a older sister, he was also the fourth of his name but he went by Trey. They say that Bill Gates excelled through elementary school in math and English. When he was thirteen he enrolled at a middle school named Lakeside school. It is one of the best schools in Seattle. When he was in eighth grade, some moms did a yard sale to buy a computer for the school, Gates was so interested that he convinced the math teacher to let him go work on the computer instead of him taking math class. He got a 1590 on his SAT's which then lead him to a school named Harvard.

After a short college life he worked with a man named Paul Allen and they invented Microsoft. Microsoft is a very big company and it is continually growing. It started with just Bill Gates and Paul Allen but now it is employing over 30,000 people. Some people discouraged him not to start is own company because it is very difficult to make money but he proved them wrong and now is the richest man in the world.

The other people I was thinking of doing were Donald Trump but even though he is rich he is not even close to him. The next guy I was thinking of doing was Mark Cuban. But the same thing as Donald Trump, they are not even close to wear Bill Gates is, in the money department. Even though both of these people worked very hard for there money they still have not hit the point of where Bill Gates is.

So in this essay I told you who I thought was the Business leader. Bill Gates knew what it took to have a lot of money and he made the Wise descion. Even though he is spending $991,000 on his house payment he still is living the high life. He is a great person to look up to even though some people don't agree with some of his philosophy.
