Bill Gates, founder @MicrosoftBill Gates, who has long

been at or near the top of the world’s richest individuals, led the group with an estimated worth of $79.6
billion.

It was reported that Bill Gates’s net worth was particularly boosted by the recent stellar performance of
Microsoft, which he cofounded in 1975. He gave a gift of shares worth $1.5 billion to The Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation in November 2014, which brought his lifetime giving up to $29.5 billion.

their lives.

the top 10 richest tech entrepreneurs in the world is the Oracle founder Larry Ellison at $50 billion.

He founded database software firm, Oracle, after building databases for the CIA in 1977 and has overseen
its tremendous growth – revenues in fiscal 2014 grew to $38.3 billion.

was Jeff Bezos, who saw a gain of some $13 billion in his fortune this year with the rise of Amazon shares,
