The World's First Trillionaire.......

[bran987]

Bill Gates is worth about $50 billion last time I checked.. assuming most of that is in MSFT stock.

he's 46 now.

If MSFT grows at 15% per year.. he'll be a Trillionaire at age 68.. if growth slows to 10%.. it'll take him until age 78 to have a Trillion.

That's 1,000 Billion if you're counting.

It's also 1,000,000 Million

$1,000,000,000,000
------------------------------
If he manages to stay alive until age 117, at 15% annual return year he'd become a Zillionaire.

$1,000,000,000,000,000

Compound Interest should be your best friend
Will he give it all away when he dies? I don't think he has kids.

too many numbers in that post but I would like to know whats going on...can you summarize?

 

[bran987]

if he put the $50 billion he has now in a money market account earning 2% per year, he would earn interest of:

$2.74 million dollars per day to play with.

How does that make you feel?

He does have a daughter, and apparently has stated he only plans on leaving her in the vicinity of 10 million.

mostly likely between age 68 & 78 Bill Gates will become the world's first Trillionaire

He won't be the first: King Fahd and the Sultan of Brunei are in whole other league. Bill will never know that kind of wealth.

Most of it is already earmarked to give away....

he had his chance to push it out to maybe 1/4 trillion - he actually owns 140 businesses, but he was more focused on charitable giving.

For someone to make $1T, they will have to do something with a genetic cure for something like baldness.

If someone cures cancer, governments will force them to give it up. If they find a room temperature superconductor or cold fusion, government will take it away.

It has to be a cosmetic procedure. That's the way it will happen.

Or, through normal inflation, a trillion won't be such a big deal anymore, in say, 3057.

You need to get out, man, I told you that before. Here, have a lifesaver.

I was reading that Bill Gates possess 1/236 of America's net income...

A tycoon in in the 1800's had 1/86 of the nations income...

 

[bran987]

Cool Matt! Man... giving away that much ought to put him in the same category of giving as Carnegie, relatively speaking, no?

it is amazing what you can do when you own and loot a country.

Oddly, I think Mr. Gates created more jobs and more wealth for more people than either of these royal crooks.

15% a year???????????? You are nutz..........

15% a year???????????? You are nutz..........

I know.. it is a slowdown from the rate MSFT has grown in the past, but bigger = slower
I was just jokin' around anyway, I don't think the company will ever get that big.

 

[Dial_tone]

Over time the growth rate will slow to more like 12%, which is about the stock market longterm average.
