Steve Ballmer owns more Microsoft stock than Bill Gates, but Bill Gates' fortune is not all Microsoft stock.
A great friend of Warren Buffett's, Bill Gates has long followed his investment recommendations by diversifying since the early 1990s.
In particular, Bill Gates holds more than $7 billion worth of shares in Berkshire Hathaway.
He holds a significant number of shares in the following companies:
Waste Management, Inc.
Canadian National Railway Company
Caterpillar Inc.
Walmart Inc.
I'll stop there, but you get the idea.
Bill Gates' investments are diversified, and that's what allows him to have a larger fortune than Steve Ballmer's, even though the latter has more Microsoft shares.
Thanks for your information. great friend of Warren Buffett's, Bill Gates has long followed his investment recommendations by diversifying since the early 1990s.
