Bill Gate’s lifestyle: Bill Gates is the wealthiest person on the planet with an estimated net worth of $85.9 billion. That amount of money is simply impossible for most people to wrap their brain around. As the mastermind that seized on the concept that licensing software could change the technology business forever, Gates founded Microsoft and never looked back. We’ve come a long way since DOS for sure. His net worth comes after an astonishing endowment to establish the famed Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

After stepping down as the CEO and subsequently Chairman of Microsoft in 2008, Gates spends his time working through his foundation.
But when you’re worth more than every other human being currently alive on the earth, there isn’t anything you can’t afford. Money essentially has no limitation and so many things are possible. Most people think about what they would do with one million dollars and begin to dream. Gates is worth that one million dollars 85,900 times over! Everyone would assume that Gates would have multiple residences, several vehicles and his own aircraft, but there are a number of extras attached to his lifestyle that you may find surprising. So the following are some of the more interesting things that Gates does with his vast wealth.
10. His Children Will Not Inherit Everything
Bill and Melinda Gates have both made it clear over the years that their children will not be inheriting the bulk of their estate. Gates could set it up so that generations worth of Gates children never have to work a day in their lives, but this is not what he wants. They will get an amazing education through college, but then he wants them to go into the world and start their own careers.
While Gates won’t allow his children to be poor, it is his desire that they grow to make something for themselves. The idea that any children in the Gates family lineage would never work is something he couldn’t stand and simply won’t allow. So while they will inherit a large amount of money from Gates upon his death, it will only be a fraction of a fraction of his net worth.
