From the finance editor of The New York Times , an examination of Bill Gates—one of the most powerful, fascinating, and contradictory figures of the past four decades—and an eye-opening exploration of our national fixation on billionaires that reveals how the wealthiest wield their power, manipulate their image, and pursue philanthropic aims to become heroes, repair damaged reputations, and direct policy programs.
When Bill Gates cofounded Microsoft in 1975, computers were found mainly in government offices, and software as a product didn’t exist. But by 1987, Gates had become the first technology billionaire, and by 1995, the richest man in the world, forever influencing how we think about tech founders, as the products they make and the ideas they sell continue to dominate our lives. But there is more to Gates’s story, and here, Anupreeta Das’s revelatory reporting shows us that billionaires have secrets and philanthropy can have a dark side.
Today, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the world’s largest private philanthropic donor, touching millions of lives, and transforming Gates into a new kind of high-profile, do-gooder billionaire. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews with current and former employees of the Gates Foundation, Microsoft, academics, nonprofits, and those with insight into the Gates universe, Das delves into Gates’s relationships with Warren Buffett, Jeffrey Epstein, Melinda French Gates, and others, to uncover the truths behind the myth.
Insightful, illuminating, and timely, Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King is an important story of money and government, wealth and power, and media and image, and the way in which institutions have tied their fates and their fortunes to the richest people in the world.

Part of the Global Oligarch Elite that knows how to run your life better then you do.
Free Speech and Gun Ownership are just some of the Constitutional Rights that he, and the elites, think that you should not have.

When someone here makes barely intelligible comments and doesn’t understand the difference between “then” and “than,” how to spell “pus,” or the proper use of “lurks,” it’s a dead giveaway they haven’t read the book and couldn’t understand it even if they had. Speaking of hypocrisy, they’re likely writing their drivel using a Microsoft product!
Good book, not my favourite subject but interesting enough. It covers a lot of the later ground that earlier biographies of Gates couldn’t.
