Gate's net worth is mostly in paper only. He doesn't actually have $58 billion dollars in cash. But if I had that much money I'd give most of it away.
<< What would YOU buy with his cash >>
I would buy a nice house in SoCal, go to college to have a nice job, and get my girl a nice ring.

I've often thought if I had that much money, I would just quit working and go around having one hell of a good time.
$58 billion is about $1 billion a year for the rest of my life. That's uh.. what... $3 million a day to blow EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
So let's think... monday I'd wake up, buy a lamborghini. Drive it around, take it to the beach... "accidentally" drive it into the ocean and watch it sink. Laugh a little, have some mixed drinks. Or maybe I'd just drive it onto some college campus and hand the keys to some CS major. Drink some beers. Monday night maybe go to a nice restaurant, pick up the tab for everyone. Go out to a club. Call it Flot night, buy everone drinks all night long. Close the place out. End the day with $2,500,000 in your pocket.
Tuesday, plan a party for the weekend. Rent out a block at some fun city for saturday night. Fly in friends from other places to join in the event. Put down some deposits on stuff, maybe head to the beach, buy a boat for the day. Make friends, give the boat to someone else to park when you're done. Let them have the keys, you can buy another one tomorrow.
Wednesday... Hmm... car.. boat... I guess a plane wouldn't be out of the question, but I'm not really the flying type. Maybe just hang out, don't do anything. You know, unwind by the pool. In the bahamas.
Thursday go get some clothes to wear to your party that weekend. Don't forget accessories - watch, shoes, car - you know, the usual.
Friday, go do something nice so you won't feel so bad on sunday about all that cash you ran through. Buy laptops for inner city kids. Sponsor a "goofy inventions" contest and help somebody get started. Buy some land and make it a park. Send 150 pizzas to your old high school. Send 1500 pizzas to your least favorite college professor. Pay the bill, but insist they leave them on his lawn.
Saturday - Party, party, party. Pay the tab - one city block for one evening, hmm, what - $800,000 tops?
Sunday - Sleep it off. Repeat until you just can't take it anymore.
The way I see it, you couldn't spend all that money if you tried. But damn, I'd have fun trying.

Well the Boston Red Sox are for sale, I think I'd start there. Then I would out spend the damn yankees so we could finally win the world series.
<< How're you going to pay-off the Bambino?? >>
That curse stuff is just B.S. At least I hope so
I would give away everything except for maybe 20-25 million or so. No real need for that kind of money and all it does is remove many of the challenges of day to day life, I know you think it would be great but I can guarantee you in a couple of years you would be bored to tears.
Do you guys realize that if you had purchased 100 shares of Microsoft in 1986 for $2750.00, and held on to it, you would now have 14,400 shares and be a millionaire? Of course, that's down by about 600K since a peak in 12 of '99.

why would you want to work with 58 billion? basically it's impossible to spend that money. think about it! 3 million a day to do whatever you want with.
anyway, i'd give a lot of money to anyone who's ever done something nice for me (and i'd laugh at all those who treated me like sh!t in the past), i'd donate craploads to charities (cancer research, etc.), and after I have done my good deeds with that obscene fortune, i'd live the rest of my life in pure comfort, getting anything I want
I would create a underground society in Antarctica, and start a massive research faculty filled with computer programers, mathematicians, chemists, and other professionals to help me take over the world! Hahahahahahahahahha!
I'd get an SGI supercomputer, but I don't know what else. It's hard to think in terms of numbers that large (and Congress uses that fact to it's advantage quite frequently).

o i'm sure he doesn't have all 58 billion in cash, most of it is from his company...if microsoft goes down he won't be all that rich, so it isn't fixed. But what i think he'll do w/ his money is to invest on other companies (stocks), hoping to get even more!! Or he can just buy other companies to make microsoft even bigger.
Put it in the bank or stock market and make even more money, so i could eventually take over the world. Thats not what i would do, that is what i think he is doing.
all that money he has isn't like sitting in a bank waiting for him i doubt he can spend a whole lot without selling stocks and such
