According to the latest data, Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, earns as much as 10.95 million US dollars a day, which is more than three times the lifetime income of an average person.
For 20 years before being surpassed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (2017), Gates was almost always the richest person in the world. Today, although he has been retired for many years, he is still in the top five on the list of the world's richest people.
According to data from the job search information website Zippia, the average lifetime income of an average person is about 2.7 million US dollars, while Gates's daily income is about 3 to 4 times this figure.
According to estimates, Gates earns about $10.95 million a day, which is equivalent to about $117 per second. Another set of data shows that Gates earns about 7.6 million US dollars a day, which is equivalent to 319635 US dollars per hour.
According to reports, only a small portion of Gates's wealth comes from Microsoft shares, accounting for about 12.5%. Other wealth also includes real estate investments. As a well-known philanthropist, most of Gates's income goes to philanthropic causes.
