Bill Gates was once the richest man in the world. Currently, he is ranked the third richest man and he is well-known for his company, Microsoft. Yesterday, Bill Gates bid a teary farewell to Microsoft, by leaving his full time executive role. He will focus on his philanthropic organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest charity, funded in part by his vast fortune.

Microsoft has always been the biggest computer software manufacturer, focusing on producing operating system. “Microsoft Windows” and many applications such as “Microsoft Office”, “Windows Media Player” and so fourth have become the household names. However, Microsoft always tries to expand its business to other fields. For instance, Microsoft Xbox is challenging Sony PlayStation. Besides, Microsoft also has to face competition from other strong and established companies such as Google and Apple.

Nevertheless, Bill Gates is still the director as he is the biggest shareholder of Microsoft. If he were to sell all his shares, he would probably earn another billions of dollars in his bank.
