From what I can remember, when he dies Bill Gates's wife gets nothing, and his children get £1 million each, to start their own business's, rest goes to charity. Some facts about his money I just read. He's worth between $50 and $100 billion, it flactuates. He earns on average about $100 a second, assuming he works 14 hours a day, sleeping not counting. This means, if he drops $1000 bill, its not worth his time to pick it up, he would earn more money walking to work. Buying a Lamborgini Diablo would make as much difference to him as buying a mars bar for the average American, to him, it would be worth 31 cents if he had an average salary. Using the same formula, his mansion is costing the equilivent of $63 If all his money was in dollar bills, it would weigh 40,000 tons and be stacked 2690 miles high. By the time he would have read this post, he would have earned about $30,000.
