With a net worth of over $130 billion, Bill Gates is one of the richest people on this planet! His company is one of the most successful tech companies in history, and it took only two decades before it turned him into a multibillionaire
Not too bad for a geeky kid who once dropped out of college! Instead of staying in school to complete his degree, Bill had his eyes set on something much bigger. And that’s a decision he probably hasn’t regretted!
Curious to find out how this college dropout went on to disrupt the computer industry in the way that he did? Then make sure to watch this video!

![How this Broke Kid Invented Subway to Pay for College and Became an Accidental Sandwich Tycoon
With over 37,000 locations in more than 100 countries, Subway is one of the most omnipresent restaurant chains in the world!
