Well, I'll have to respectfully disagree with this, at least in the case of Bill Gates. Gates is someone who has always sought the spotlight, including after leaving Microsoft. The man has a large ego, to put it mildly, and I think he enjoys using his obscene wealth to influence policy matters across the globe. It bothers me that someone who has never been elected to any office has so much influence in matters that affect the lives of millions of people. Personally, I would much rather have people with backgrounds in science developing policy regarding things like nutrition and human disease control, as opposed to Bill Gates. I have no idea why he and his wife are getting divorced........that's a private matter. I am just giving my opinion on Bill Gates as a person.
