No, because his income will decline when he stops being the CEO of Microsoft (or doing anything at Microsoft), I don't think he's getting nearly as much from stocks then from Microsoft income.

Well, that was six years ago.  Hindsight says otherwise. :p  (He's Chairman.)

Pfft, what can a CEO do. It's all up to the developers. Oh those developers!

You know, Bill needs to be kicked in the nuts really really hard for this.  

If he gave away a serious percentage of his wealth to charity, he could solve that "problem" immediately, while still having more money than most Americans could ever dream of seeing in their lifetimes.
