Bill Gates
Net Worth: $72.7 billion
Starting off our list is none other than Bill Gates, the embodiment of the words “rich” and “nerd”. Born in 1955, Gates showed an interest in computers at an early age. After attending Harvard University for two years, he dropped out to work for Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS) and later create Microsoft along with friend Paul Allen for the IBM personal computer. Though he has a net worth of $72.7 billion, he has already noted that most of his wealth will be donated. Along with his wife, he started the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 1997 to help under privileged children gain technology experience.
