1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's about US$20
Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR! .
________________________________________________________
2. If he drops a thousand dollar, he won't even bother to pick
it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would've already earned
it back.
_______________________________________________________
3. The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if
Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in
less then 10 years.
_________________________________________________
4. He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left
with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
___________________________________________________
5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US.
If he doesn't drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e.
US$30 Million, he'll have to wait for 277 years to become as
rich as Bill Gates is now.
_______________________________________________
6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest
country on earth.
______________________________________________
7. If you change all of Bill Gate's money to US$1 notes, you can
make a road from earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But you
have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total
of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.
______________________________________________________
8. Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live
for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to
finish all his money before he can go to heaven.
_____________________________________________________
Last but not the least:
If Microsoft Windows' users can claim US$1 for every time their
computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be
bankrupt in 3 years!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the moral lesson from the last one after no.8 : "It takes a lot of effort and pride to inflate a big baloon, but you just need a little pin to blow it to pieces".

I don't believe Bill Gates is a genius. It is our fear of having without, that made Bill Gates filthy rich.

Everyone is unique and if you put a value on every unique details that you have, you can be as rich as Bill Gates.

For me, my kids are my most valuable possession and they are worth all the money in the world, including those under production. Probably the length of that money would reach pluto or perhaps planet X and back.

I was trying to find an article which I kept some years back. It was about two mathematicians who made a formula on how to determine the amount of happiness and convert it in money value. Like for example how much is the happiness you gain from staying in a 5 star hotel compared to a 4 star hotel. Then you will know if the money you spent is worth the happiness you gained.

I forgot where I saved that article.

Further, here are the questions: What Bill Gates is up to with all the money he got. Does he care about it? He is saving his money for what? Did he realize that even if he would party every hour in fabulous hotel, he would die of old age before he could consume all of it. Then what is his point of being a workaholic and avoid fun? Who are the heirs & heiress of this money?

I think Bill and Melinda Gates have a few foundations so basin pohon adto mapunta ilang money and to their children, if they have.

About the formula to determine the amount of happiness, I don't think I have read that but I kind of think that's similar to how Bo Sanchez, a Catholic preacher in the Philippines said about richness. He said something about having a big house and you don't have time anymore to spend with your family because you are busy working to keep up with the mortgage. Further, dili dayon mo magkita sa inyong pamilya kay daghan man ka pa ingnan sa balay. Whereas kon gamay na balay, magka tapod jud ug maka bonding. He also used cars as a basis for his assessment. You buy a nice car dayon magkaguol ka na makarasan, not to mention the cost to but it. Ug makarasan imong car. Basta ana tong iyang theory.

I know a couple back in Cagayan de Oro na dako kaayo ilang balay. When they were fighting, one can stay in one room and the other in another room. Dugay jud sila wala gaka reconcile kay dili man sila magkahinagbo sa kadako sa ilang balay! Pero sa among gamay na balay sa una, mapugos mi dumog sa una kon naa mi away kay aron mahuman dayon ba! Mo ingon na gani na among inahan na "hala niay sundang, pag tagsa mo! " Ngano kaha pod to mangundang mi'g away! hahahha but if we had big house then na as big as to have more than 14 rooms aron tag isa mi, dili siguro mi as close karon.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the biggest foundations in the world. So far, they've donated billions of dollars of their own money to help various causes. So, at least, they're putting their money to good use.

Mr Macky, kanang happiness nga kalibutanon, that's subject to the law of diminishing returns. I love chocolate cake, it makes me happy. But 2 slices max is about all I can take in one sitting, that's my "happiness ceiling". Now, will it make me happier if I eat the whole cake? or 2? or 3 cakes? Pareha ra pud na sa kuarta, there's a certain ceiling for everyone, after which, extra money won't really make that much of a difference. Motuo jud ko anang hierarchy of needs (Abraham Maslow), when we've fulfilled all our needs, that'll make for a happy existence, and anything extra is just a bonus.

I have an uncle who grew up dirt poor but got wealthy later on through hard work, he works 24/7, sleeps only 5 hrs max, but he's very generous. Daghan kaayo siyang natabangan nga tawo. Right now, daghan siyang gipa eskwela nga among mga parente. A lot of his employees are working students. Daghan syang mga gi sponsor pud nga pari. When I see him, I see a happy man. He lives a simple life himself but he uses his money to help others. His wealth serves a greater purpose.

On the other hand, I know someone who's extremely wealthy. But his family life is so chaotic. He's a drug addict, his son is a drug addict, his wife is a beeyotch and they fight all the time, it's just one big mess. And despite his wealth, wala jud siya'y natabangan nga tawo. He lives in a palatial home, everytime I saw him (sa Pinas pa), he had a new car. But his life is all about drugs, booze, whores and a lot of other nasty things. He is one of the unhappiest people I know. And I think it's because, for him, having money is an end in itself. It serves no greater purpose in his life than a means to acquire more material things...really, how many houses can a person have? how many cars? how many millions in the bank?

One of my fantasy to be happy is to be imortal and to conquer all fear. It sounds crazy, but somehow, this subconcious needs managed to grasp and control a bit of my reality.

I also believed that everything in this world is utility, including money. You can not find happiness in a utility. Happiness is only found within you.
