Gates had the equivalent of 2.06 billion shares in September 1998, when the software maker first became the world's most-valuable company, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Microsoft took back the top ranking from Apple Inc. on Oct. 29. Gates's 1998 holding would have been valued Friday at about $693 billion, topping Musk's net worth of $340.4 billion and Bezos's net worth of $200.3 billion. He sold the vast majority of his Microsoft stock before leaving the board in 2020.
