mad:
its just plain wrong, how the fuck can you spend $50-97 MILLION on a house, jesus christ. that money could've been spent in so many better ways.
thats the most expensive house ive heard of, whats wrong with spending about $10m on a place, it'd be f##king unreal, thats just taking the piss spending 97m for only 3 people.
i've always had a small amount of respect for Bill Gates but now that i've heard this if i saw him in on the street i'd fucking strangle him to death

1st, why would bill gates need to bother going on a street when he can pay someone to do it for him.

2nd, if you ever did see him on the streets, how would you get passed his security guards?

Donated 16 Billion ? Are you for fucking real ? Do you understand the stupidity
of what you're saying? It's as if I gave away about a fifth of my personal
fortune to someone I didn't know. Nothing is free, therefore he's somehow
going to make money off of it. Give to charities ? That's fukn' pocket change
for him: he needs to give a bit to not look like a total scrooge, which he is.
Employing people ? No fukn' shit: he's not the one who will continue the
perpetual upgrades on "his" windows operating systems lol...

boohoo does the american government spend money on starving children in africa? nope! no reason for gates to either!

Gates and his wife have some kind of foundation that donates money to charities. It was about 6 months ago they donated 16 billion to some country, it basically equalled every family in the country getting 1500$ or so.

And how in the hell is he gonna make money of giving money away? Giving 16 billion to a foreign coutry = him making money? umm no?

As for "dos" how exactly did he rip it off? They bought dos off that guy and it became microsofts. I see that as a business transaction and not any sort of "rip off".

Gates is a smart business man end of story and he's proffited from it immensly.

If someone gave me a billion dollars and said build a house with everything u want in it, i probably couldnt do it, what the fuck does he need a house for that much money?!! He can give everyone in the world 1 million dollars and still have money for himself!!!

Umm the house cost 97 million not a billion. happy:

I doubt very much even gates could get a house to cost almot 10x what the current one costs

Milla · 11-03-2002, 08:13 PM

omfg oops biggrin: well still if someone handed me 50 million said build a house with ALL of this, i wouldnt be able to do it

Mr.X · 11-03-2002, 08:15 PM

...I think it's money well spent, he probably has more than 1 toilet, plus things like a dishwasher and a jacuzzi.
Also, he more than likely has 2 phone outlets so he can take calls whilst on the net,
It all adds up, you know..... oOo:

apparently youve never been to the town of palm springs. my uncle works at the docks of palm beach and his girlfriend works for some billionaire. the guy she works for spent a couple billion on his house...

Zap. USMC · 11-04-2002, 05:32 AM

Don't have to hate him becuase he's filthy rich, which he earned (That's what happens when you invent something everyone buys

. As Gerard said, I've heard of him donating money to different charities.

SoLiDUS · 11-04-2002, 05:47 AM

How in hell could he have donated 16 BILLION dollars with no intention of
getting anything in return? Are you fucking retarded?

This should open your eyes.

Furthermore, can someone please give me a link to where they mention
Bill Gates (Microsoft) donating 16 billion dollars ? I will assume none of
you will provide that evidence so I'll say "thank you for proving me right"
now.
