$Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ Bill Gates once said that no software company will ever make as much as $10 million in sales a year. In 2021 Microsoft sales were $168 Billion. When Microsoft went public Bill Gates owned 49% of Microsoft and now only 1%. If Bill Gates never sold off 48% of Microsoft, today he'd have a net worth of $1.2 Trillion instead of $138 Billion. That's a difference of over $1 Trillion!
