5 minute speech on a famous person: Bill Gates

Who would like to make $250? What about $250 an hour or $250 a minute? How about $250 a second? How would you like to buy a product for $50,000 and then later sell it for millions? Do you know anyone who has done this? I do. His name is Bill Gates. Who is Bill Gates? Through his programming skills, competitive business practices, and ability to spot innovative products, Bill Gates has been the richest person in the world for the last 12 years.

Bill Gates’ success would not be possible without his programming genius.

Back when computers were a luxury, Bill Gates was already discovering the mysteries of programming on his high school’s only computer. Later, he was accepted to Harvard University in computer science, but after two years, he left to start his company Microsoft. With his knowledge of programming Bill began making a profit by selling his programs to computer manufacturing companies. He was already making enough money to expand his company to the hundreds.

Gates also bought Xerox’s idea of a mouse and made even more millions. But Gate’s ability to spot upcoming would be useless without his competitive business practices.

Bill Gate’s a great business man who knows how to create a PC market in his favor. With the release of DOS, it made Microsoft the standard for operation systems. Gates then released Windows, an almost identical copy of Apples graphic operation system, which helped him make his billions. Gates eliminated all other programming competition by including programs such as Microsoft word, excel, PowerPoint, publisher, and internet explorer in windows. Not only that, but he also bought hotmail and WebTV, which are not called msn hotmail and msnTV.

In conclusion, Bill Gates was not born rich. With his programming skills, competitive business practices, and ability to spot innovative products, Bill Gates has been the richest person in the world for twelve years straight.
