At the moment, Bill Gates' net worth is about 93 billion.
Gates accumulated his ginormous wealth initially from Microsoft, but later he gradually put most of his money into a well diversified portfolio managed by his own investment firm: Cascade Investment LLC. He now only owns less than 2% MSFT, less than Steve Ballmer according to Forbes.
So, how much Bill Gates would worth if he didn't sell ANY of his Microsoft stocks ?
MSFT is trading at 100$ at the moment, and has a market cap of $776 billion. After Microsoft IPO in 1986, Gates' ownership was 45%. If he didn't sell any, his net worth should be about 350 billion dollars.
