If you read Accidental Empires or the Bill Gates biography (don't
remember the name), you get the impression that he's not in it for the
money at all.  (Though I'm sure he doesn't mind it.)  In fact, he's
stated that his goal in life is to run "the software company."  In
other words, the world's ONLY software company.

I've got nothing on this guy.  :)
