On: Bill Gates on track to own no Microsoft stock in four years

[sjwright]

He hasn't sold it all yet; for all we know he might have instructions to retain one percent. Or π percent. Bill is always going to have some spiritual importance to Microsoft, whether he owns 4%, 1% or a single share certificate elegantly framed for his bathroom wall.

I think Gates has stated he won't be leaving anything for his children.

More accurately he wants to leave them "enough that they can do anything they want, but not enough to that they can do nothing".

[antoinec → jon-wood]

which translates into $10M I think
