How much is Bill worth right now?
We obviously do not have a full reckoning of everything Bill owns. But,
according to the Yahoo! Insider Trades site, Bill has 1,077,499,336 shares
of MSFT.
This figure reflects all trades made through Nov/04/30, which is the most
recent trade. (Thanks to Jeff Call for the pointer!)
As of 13:50 on 12/06/04 , Microsoft was selling for $27.38 .
Some simple multiplication tells us that he owns $29,501,931,819.68 worth of
Microsoft stock. (That's $29.5 Billion.)
MSFT: Microsoft Stock
Microsoft has a total of 10,700,000,000 shares outstanding, worth a total of
$292,966,000,000, which is Microsoft's market capitalization. (That's
$292.97 Billion.)
Bill's 1,077,499,336 shares represents 10.07% of Microsoft.
On March 13, 1986, the day Microsoft went public, according to Microsoft's
Public Relations Department, Bill owned 11,142,000 shares of MSFT stock. At
MSFT's IPO price of $21 per share Bill's initial fortune was worth
$233,982,000 or $233.98 Million. Adjusted for splits, if Bill had not sold
any stock since then, he would have 3,208,896,000 shares. Those shares would
be worth $87,859,572,480.00 or $87.86 Billion today. Thanks to Michael Noer
and Julie Sullivan at Wired Magazine for their help here.
Microsoft stock's all-time high price (adjusted for splits) is $119.75. That
means that Bill's all-time high net worth (if he hadn't sold any shares) is:
$129,030,545,486.00 or $129.03 Billion.
If Bill had never sold any of his MSFT stock, at his maximum price, Bill's
share would be worth: $384,265,296,000.00 or $384.27 Billion.
Microsoft went public on March 13, 1986. Its IPO price was $21/share, which,
after adjustments for splits is equivalent to 7.29˘.
Microsoft stock has split a total of 9 times, increasing the number of
shares, and decreasing each share's value by a factor of 288. If MSFT stock
had never split, the share price today would be $7885.44. (Thanks to Michael
Chauvin for the suggestion)

that would be true, if Ingvar Kamprad actually owned IKEA, but he doesn't.
According to the an IKEA spokesman, Ingvar donated the concern to the Dutch

Bill is still on top. Doesn't mean anything.

Nick,
A Dutch Stichting is a foundation.
It can be something as the Bill Gates Foundation, however I doubt it, I saw
in a Dutch webpage about this that it seems to be only a postbox. Before you

One thing is for sure.
Gate$ wealth declined by half after the stock market crash and has never
recovered.
Since then, he has furiously been dumping stock on the market, which is the
reason MSFT has been stagnant.
Now, the growth of Linux threatens his dominance. http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/...orbeslist1.htm
I am not an expert on these things. I refer you to Forbes magazine and USA
Today.

Well, that's all well and good, but in the case of Gates' wealth it's
Catch-22.
As the largest shareholder in MSFT, if he were to sell his stock suddenly,
the price would plunge, and as he sold it, each share would be worth less
and less. If he hangs on to it, it's worth more, theorectically, but he
can't spend it.
If wealth were measured in liquid assets only, it would be a different
picture entirely.
