... But he sold much of his MSFT stock back when Steve Balmer was running the company into the shittier and diversified his investments.

He was protecting his personal wealth from a crash but he also lost out on about $1.2T in extra cash potential...

The oddest thing about people like this is that they are actually that rich.

My “frick this, I’m done, and I’m just going to fish everyday” number would keep me from ever getting that rich.

I am all for people making as much money as they can.. but sometimes I question if there should be a think as "too much money".

Lets say one person is worth $1.33T. I know that doesn't mean he has that much in cash, locked up in a safe, but build a private law enforcement company where they go into cities, find out the core of the problems and do night missions where they take people out who need to be taken out. Like a special ops team that can do it before anyone even has time to record whats going on... shite like that.

It doesn’t really matter. He’s worth $138B and hasn’t been “working” for a while. $138B is enough to do whatever the frick he wants. He can buy and destroy companies if he wants. He can buy any NFL team that hits the market. He can be an evil villain and fund a global pandemic and never see as much as a legal inquiry about it

That caption is kind of disingenuous. Warren Buffet is notoriously opposed to diversification solely for the purpose of diversification.

So how much is $138B?

Gates could reduce his net worth by 99 percent and still be a billionaire.

Buffett bought the Microsoft shares, if you were wondering.

That’s a fun game to play. But if he hasn’t have diversified, we’re in a different world. Maybe not directly but who knows what chain reactions may have happened in this alternate universe…

We don’t know what he is worth, many of his assets are either not public or it’s easy to value as a blue chip stock.

Yeah just what the world needs, a eugenics nerd running around with a trillion dollars.
