I don't know him personally, but I have a great deal of respect for him.  He is using his fortune to literally try to change the world for the better.  I hope more people with wealth try to do that.

BANGALORE, India - When Microsoft Corp. chairman    Bill Gates begins a four-day visit to India on Tuesday (12-06-2005), he'll see a country moving increasingly toward open source operating systems — the chief rival to his company's Windows software. \n\nADVERTISEMENT\n \nThe head of Microsoft's India division, Ravi Venkatesan, said Gates plans to focus "on realizing India's potential" during his visit.\n\nMicrosoft has long viewed India, a country of 1 billion people with a fast growing economy, as a potentially huge market, and this will be Gates' fourth visit. He'll meet with senior Indian officials, business leaders and programmers and detail Microsoft's long-announced plans to invest $400 million in India in the coming years.\n\nGates is an icon to legions of programmers in India, and Indian leaders and business moguls line up to shake hands with him when he visits.

Bill Gates is worth over 50 Billion.  I think there was a time when Ingvar Kamprad from Sweeden may have been worth more back when America's economy tanked after 911, but Gates is worth more now.

Before Bill Gates there was no industry of IT. He basically single handedly created the software industry. He is a genius like no other and he still is in quest to find that perfect OS which would make computers more efficient and user friendly.
