Bill Gates was born in 1955 in Washington State. He grew up in a rich family. His parents sent him to a
private school. There he met his business partner, Paul Allen. When they were in eighth grade, they were
writing programs for business computers and making more.
In 1973, Gates was accepted at Harvard University. His parents were happy. They thought he would get
over his obsession with computers and become a lawyer like his father. Two years later, Gates dropped out
of Harvard to work on a computer program with his friend Allen. They worked eighteen hours a day in a
dormitory room at Harvard. They were writing the program that would run one of the first personal
computers. In 1975, they created a company called Microsoft to sell their product.
Allen became ill with cancer and left Microsoft in 1983. He recovered a few years later and started his own
company. Meanwhile, Microsoft became a giant company. By 1990, at the age of thirty-four, Gates was the
youngest billionaire in the history of the USA.
