The corporate leader says he doesn't like the attention of being the world's richest man.

He should give all his money to GNU, the Linux kernel project and OSDL if he feels this way.

If he stopped being the CEO of Microsoft, his wealth would drop (still having millions though) and in 20 years, no one would have heard of him.

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.)

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.

After reading "The Microsoft File", I can only have contempt for the way Gates operated MS from day 1.

Yeah right. I don't believe he is giving his money to charity either, probable the Satan charity though.
