At the age of 13, Bill Gates wrote his first software program. He helped in forming a group of programs in high school that computerized the payroll system of their school and founded Traf-O-Data, a company that marketed local government traffic-counting systems.
Gates acquired a huge paper fortune as the largest individual shareholder of the company, primarily on the strength of Microsoft’s popularity. In 1986, he became a paper billionaire and his net worth had reached tens of billions of dollars within a decade, making him the richest private person in the world by some estimates. Gates at first tended to remain out of the public eye, managing civic and philanthropic affairs indirectly through one of his foundations, with little ambitions outside software and the promise of information technology.
