===== '''Bill Gates''' ===== Bill Gates, along with his childhood friend Paul Allen, co-founded Microsoft in 1975. Gates played a critical role in the development and success of the company. His visionary leadership led to the creation of the MS-DOS operating system, which laid the foundation for Microsoft's future achievements. Gates also spearheaded the development of Microsoft Windows, revolutionizing the personal computer industry. Throughout his tenure at Microsoft, Gates was known for his entrepreneurial vision, business acumen, and unwavering commitment to innovation. In more recent years, Gates shifted his focus to philanthropy, establishing the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He continues to wield significant influence in the technology and global health sectors, leveraging his wealth and expertise to address pressing societal challenges. Bill Gates currently owns 0.9% of Microsoft shares, valued at approximately $20.5 billion<ref>https://businessmodelanalyst.com/who-owns-microsoft/</ref>. During the company's initial public offering (IPO) in 1986, Gates held approximately 45% of the outstanding shares. However, he has gradually reduced his ownership stake to support his philanthropic endeavors. Gates' careful and strategic divestment ensured that he had the necessary resources to address critical global issues through his foundation.
