spending money.
Gates, while speaking on Ellen
DeGeneres show on how he has been able to manage his finances since he got
rich, described himself as a conservative person.

stages, he spent his money on technology and didn’t bother about acquiring
stuffs.
The world’s second richest said,
“I officially became a billionaire when I was 21 but the boost to my bank
account didn’t send me on a spending spree.
“I was conservative about the
finances of my software, I don’t have many things that are extravagant taste,
so my life didn’t change too much.
“In terms of earning on my own I
was the first person to become a billionaire, I love software so getting
extravagant thing wasn’t that big of a deal.
“My thing was doing software and
hiring people, I was stunned when it turned out to be valuable.
“My primary concern at the time
was being able to pay employees, many of whom had families to care for.
“I was very conservative about
the finances so I was stunned to what software multiplied into.
“I’m still conservative because I
always want to have a lot money in the bank so even if our customer don’t pay
for years, I can still pay my employees.
“In terms of crazy things, yes a
Porsche and my plane were the two craziest things I acquired.”
