MICROSOFT founder Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, said today the tax office in the US has to store his financial data on a special computer because his fortune is so vast.
“My tax return in the United States has to be kept on a special computer because their normal computers can’t deal with the numbers,” he said at a Microsoft conference held in Lisbon.“So I am constantly getting these notices telling me I haven’t paid something when really it is just on the wrong computer,” he added in comments broadcast on television.
“Then they will send me another notice telling me how bad they feel they that they sent me a notice that was a mistake,” he said
Gates’s fortune is put at $US47 billion ($62.88 billion), according to the latest list of the world’s rich published by Forbes magazine.
