Bill Gates Who is the richest man in the world now?

Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft Corporation in the United States, had personal assets of more than 90 billion US dollars in 1999. He created more wealth in just over 20 years than traditional car kings, oil kings, steel kings or financial oligarchs did in 200 years.

A lot of family wealth has been created over time. Currently, the wealth of such families is generally around US$20 billion.

Bill Gates was born in an ordinary family in Seattle on October 28, 1955. His father was a lawyer and his mother was a teacher.

Bill Gates used the school's computers to develop a software at Harvard University and made a lot of money. For this, he was severely criticized by the school and warned not to do it again because the school believed that Bill Gates violated public education.

The teaching facilities must not be used for profit-making in the spirit of the University.

In May 1975, Bill Gates had the idea of ??dropping out of school. He hoped to start a software company with his friend Allen. Due to the strong opposition of his parents, Bill Gates was unable to drop out of school immediately.

However, he left Seattle for Apache.

In July 1975, he partnered with Allen to found the company.

When Microsoft was founded, Bill Gates was just 20 years old.

Microsoft is a company with small fixed assets and low raw material inventory. Its annual sales revenue is less than 20 billion US dollars, but its asset value is as high as 500 billion US dollars.

Linus Benedict Torvald Linus Benedict Torvald grew up in Helsinki and is a Swedish-Finnish man.

Currently, Linus lives in California, USA, and works for a non-Linux company.

Linus likes to drink beer, and even more likes a lifelike little penguin (the symbol of Linux), and his smart baby daughter.

Linus' greatest achievement was not that he wrote the Linux kernel, but that he made it available to the public.

In 1991, as a computer science student, Linus developed a small UNIX-like operating system and published its source code. He also looked for programmers on the Internet to co-develop the system and finally named it

for Linux.

The origin of the matter is this: in order to learn to use the famous computer scientist Andrew S.

Minix developed by Tanenbaun (a set of UNIX operating systems with simple functions and easy to understand, which can run on 8086, and later also supported 80386, and is very popular on some PC platforms), Linux purchased a 486 microcomputer, but he discovered

The functions of Minix were still far from perfect, so he decided to write a protected mode operating system himself. This was the prototype of Linux.

The original Linux was written in assembly language and was mainly used to handle 80386 protected mode.

On October 5, 1991, Linus released the first "official" version of Linux, version 0.02.

Jeff Bezos (Jeffrey P. Bezos) January 12 this year is the 35th birthday of Jeff Bezos, founder and president of Amazon.

With his superhuman courage and keen vision, this descendant of Cuban immigrants built Amazon from scratch into the world's largest online bookstore in just three years.

The company's stock has increased 20 times in just over a year since its listing, and its total market value exceeds 8 times that of Pomodoro Bookstore, the largest bookstore in the United States with more than 1,000 branches.

And he himself has become a new generation of super-rich Americans like Bill Gates, worth billions of dollars, creating another "American myth."

Jeff Bezos has been a creative person since he was a child.

After working, with his strong work enthusiasm and innovative spirit, Bezos soon became the vice president of an investment fund on Wall Street, responsible for investment in network technology companies.

In 1994, Bezos, who fully realized the huge opportunities in the Internet market, unexpectedly gave up his job with favorable conditions and came to Seattle. In July 1995, he established an online book sales company, Amazon, in his garage.

, the name has the same name as the river with the largest flow in the world.

At the beginning of his business, conditions were very difficult. He met with suppliers or job seekers every day in the coffee shop of a nearby Ponno bookstore.

Three years later, as Amazon's stock price rose rapidly, Bezos became a billionaire.

However, he is clearly aware that these wealth may disappear overnight.

He still drives an old Nissan Honda car and still maintains the same drive as when he started his business.

Internet technology has allowed new companies like Amazon to expand rapidly.

Amazon, recognized by users, has become the largest store in online space, with 4.5 million customers. Sales in 1998 are expected to increase from US$148 million the previous year to US$540 million.

In May 1997, the company's newly listed stock was worth only US$9 per share. By November 1998, when the Internet company stock market was in the doldrums, the company's stock once rose to US$209 per share, an increase of 23.

times.
