William Henry ‘Bill’ Gates III was born on October 28, 1955. He is an American business magnate, software developer, investor, and philanthropist. He is best known as the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation and he retired from the board of directors in 2020. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), president and chief software architect, while also being the largest individual shareholder until May 2014.
