He has a net worth of $66 Billion (estimated). However, he only owns $11B of Microsoft stock. Most of his money is in company called Cascade Investments... which is a holding company to manage his wealth. He is the chairman.

Gates has quite the reputation as a cheapskate. There is the famous story about him in a 7-11 buying an ice cream treat, and holding up the line several minutes while he dug through his pockets looking for a cents off coupon. Heard the story on Leo La Porte's tech show interviewing the author of one of the Gates books, who witnessed the incident.
So what is the point of all this "tax the rich" nonsense?
The OP didn't say anything about taxes. Seems like you are in the wrong thread.
