As you may know, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates left the tech giant to focus on philanthropy efforts through the Gates Foundation, though he's still rumored to be intimately involved in the software giant's affairs with his word treated as gospel.

While Microsoft was a hit shortly after its early founding days, Gates admitted that he struggled to revel in the company's success until the late 90s. Since then, the executive has made a fortune from the company, earning him the coveted billionaire status.
