How Bill Gates Really Made His Money – All Lies Exposed
I know you know Bill Gates. He is that rich guy who dropped out of Harvard, started Microsoft, and within a few years became a billionaire. Yeah sure, you’ve heard all that jazz before. But it’s true? Is everything you heard about Bill Gates real? Maybe you won’t think so when you’re done. He keeps reading.
In case you don’t know, the most popular PR method to break the frenzy and turn a new company into the most popular and valuable product is to twist the truth a little bit, not to lie obviously, but to do it in a way to create wonder and acceptance.
How do I mean?
If you have an interest in rap music, then you must have heard that the immensely popular rapper 50 cent was shot nine times. Well, he just got shot nine times in one incident! Definitely not nine different times. But who cares? That’s what the record company says about it, and rap fans enjoy it. It is a similar theme to the story of Bill Gates.
Here is the story that is currently making the rounds and all the lies exposed.
Bill Gates was the average Joe who loved computers and came up with the brilliant idea that personal computers would soon be in demand all over the world and decided to create software that would make using the computer easier. (Lie #1)
He was admitted to Harvard to study law. But he is bored with the whole legal thing and decides to quit. So he withdraws from it and starts his own company. While at Harvard, he meets Paul Allen and together they start Microsoft. Then they soon find a venture capital firm that provides their startup capital. (Lie #2)
They then develop a computer program that they licensed to IBM while retaining the license to sell the program to other companies. (Now don’t you think it’s a little weird that Bill’s company got that deal? I mean Microsoft wasn’t even a big enough company back then. Sure Bill was a brilliant guy, but then… (Bullshit) #3)
Fast forward a few years; Bill creates the program that will demonstrate his jackpot, Windows 3.0. (Lie #4)
Wow, what an amazing classic American story, one from grass to grace. But the REAL TRUTH is that the King of Microsoft, perhaps one of the most brilliant businessmen, had a few breaks in life. He may be the second richest man in the world today, but he was in great shape on the day of his birth! We will expose the lies immediately.
Lie #1 EXPOSED:
You see, Bill wasn’t your average poor Joe, I have a butcher for a father. His father, Bill Gates Jr., was a very successful and wealthy corporate lawyer long before Bill invented any software. But dad was nothing compared to mom! Bill’s mother, Mary Gates, was the granddaughter of J. W Maxwell, the founder of the National City of Seattle bank in 1906. I also want you to know that in her early years she attended Lakeside School, one of the most prestigious and expensive private schools in the Pacific Northwest. That’s where he met and befriended Paul Allen, not at Harvard.
Lie #2 EXPOSED:
He picked the perfect parents, PARENTS WHO WERE VERY HAPPY TO PROVIDE HIM WITH START-UP FUNDS FOR HIS BUSINESS. With Bill’s wealth of experience and the connections provided by his parents, are you still surprised that Bill got the money he needed to start his business? He had access to millions of dollars in a trust set up by his great-grandfather the day he was born and a bank to boot!
Lie #3 EXPOSED:
Bill’s mother was a well-connected businesswoman who served on several boards as a director of the First Interstate Bank and Pacific Northwest Bell. But she waits, it gets better (pun intended). Mary was also on the United Way board of directors, and who do you think served alongside her on that same board? John Opel, CEO of IBM! Now do you see how Bill and Microsoft came to that agreement with IBM? Connections are really necessary for success, what do you think?
While serving on that board of directors with the CEO of IBM, IBM chose Mary Gate’s son, Bill, to develop the operating system (called MS-DOS) for all of IBM’s personal computers. Now that’s a break you don’t get every day!
Lie #4 EXPOSED:
Bill never invented Windows 3.0, nor did his load of computer programmers. That clever piece of royal art was invented by an ordinary guy like you and me. Bill bought it from her for a whopping $50,000! I wonder if the mob was trying to cash him in and he had to sell so fast and so low. By now he must be cursing himself because Bill is a billionaire just for Windows 3.0.
According to Microsoft legend, Bill dropped out of school to create Microsoft and change the world. Don’t you think maybe one of the reasons he was quick to take that risk was that he didn’t care who would pay the bills?
Before you think I hate Bill, I don’t. On the contrary, I love the boy. With his charitable deeds around the world, I can’t hate him even if he wanted to. And don’t forget that he gave me Windows and Office. Those two programs have made my life easier.
Whether you think that’s correct or not, that’s your opinion. All I want you to know is that if you want to get rich, achieve immense success, become famous or whatever, you will have a much better chance of modeling successful people who come from the same background as you and still made it to the top.
Not always everything is what it seems, before you go out and start looking for someone to guide you, you need to make sure that they come from the same background as you. If they are not, you will feel inadequate and you will not learn anything from them.
If you are from an ordinary background, I tell you now that you can do it at the top. Yes, you can, if you take the time to discover the one but often overlooked success technique that works every time without fail. What is this technique?
