Why does Bill Gates want more money? Is this a tax write off for him? |

Why did you post such a silly thing? Is it an attention grab for you?
Bill Gates has nothing to do with this except that he is associated with Microsoft.

Bill Gates gives more money away each hour than you will make your whole career. I doubt that pushing movies thru XBox was some secret plan to make Gates richer or get more tax writeoffs.

He has disposed of some of his stock, but he still holds 937,499,336 shares as of 11/16/2006 And at today's closing price that comes to $27,787,480,319(or approx $27.8 billion), and that doesn't include his wife's shares(1. In addition, there are 425,066 shares owned by reporting person's spouse.)

In addition, Gates and his wife's Foundation, which they control, has $29 billion which includes more Microsoft shares.

BG still sits in the BIG Chair. When you own a large portion of a company such as Microsoft, then you ARE the Man. Regardless of how active he is in its everyday activites.
Futher, he gives a BIG FLYING DUCK what happens to Microsoft and its future.
