How Bill Gates knew he was different

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- The Harvard dropout who became a billionaire in his 30s, Bill Gates revolutionized the computer industry and, later, the world of philanthropy. Now he has been looking back at his childhood, with the first of a three-part autobiography fittingly titled "Source Code." He discusses his rebelliousness and competitiveness with correspondent Lee Cowan, and talks about how, growing up, he viewed nearly everything through the prism of mathematics.

The fact that children with autism, specifically Asperger's Syndrome, were not formally diagnosed until the early 1990s meant that individuals like Bill Gates were unaware of why their brains functioned the way they did.
Asperger Syndrome is a neurodevelopmental condition on the autism spectrum, characterized by challenges in social communication and restrictive, intense interests. Unlike other forms of autism, individuals with Asperger's typically have normal to high intelligence and no significant delays in language development. However, they may struggle with understanding social cues, forming relationships, and engaging in typical social interactions. People with Asperger's often excel in specialized fields, showing a remarkable ability to focus on specific topics or tasks. Though Asperger's is now considered part of the broader Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis, it remains an important framework for understanding neurodiverse individuals.
Thank you for that! The more understanding we can get into the world, the better.
i think being labeled "autistic" is a bad approach for most, especially at a very young age.
@@haywoodjablomi9249 My son has Asperger's Syndrome. He was diagnosed in the early 1990's by a supportive (and very brainy) psychiatrist. It was a relief for him because he didn't feel so bad about himself when misinterpreting social cues and episodes of sensory overload from school misunderstandings/situations. This was greatly alleviated when he was transferred to a small private school for gifted children (many of whom were undiagnosed Aspies). Having a diagnosis can be freeing, even for children. He has told me how much he appreciates how we were "in his corner" helping him understand what was going on and the efforts made to improve his situation. He is a fully independent and pretty happy young man who went away to college, has friends, and has a good job. Fortunately, we had resources, and I understand how difficult it would be without the support that we had as we did have some scary years for sure.
3 things that helped me grow:
I created a morning routine that keeps me productive.
I studied the hidden principles from Nixorus books.
I surrounded myself with ambitious people.

Bill Gates treated co-founder Paul Allen terribly and betrayed him. Paul Allen played a crucial role in securing the initial deal with IBM for MS-DOS, which became the dominant operating system and gave the initial funding to start. But when Allen was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the early 1980s, Gates allegedly took advantage of his illness to renegotiate their partnership agreement, reducing Allen's share of the company. Disgusted Paul Allen left Microsoft in 1983. In his memoir, Idea Man, Paul Allen detailed his grievances, accusing Gates of trying to force him out of the company, diluting his stake, and pushing deals "as hard and as far as he could."
That's mostly true. But Bill inherited his fathers' lawyer-as-negotiator skills - and his dad also advised and secured much bigger capital. I don't know if Allen would have made out as well without them. Allen made out pretty well with the Seahawks, Trailblazers, $500 million worth of art, and the then world's biggest yacht. Allen had a lucrative VC company, Vulcan.
You forget to mention that Paul Allen still was a big shareholder, so he became a rich person while he was recovering from his illness. Gates an Allen repaired his relationship and the two men donated $2.2 million to their childhood school Lakeside in 1986. In 1990 he joined Microsoft again and during this second period he founded Vulcan Capital and became a huge billionarie. He voluntary left Microsoft in 2000 to focus in his own businesses, but he remained as a senior strategy advisor.
i missed where they asked him about Jeffrey Epstein
It was mentioned at about 7:29+
He says meeting Epstein was one of his mistakes.
To understand the full picture, get the forbidden book Uncommon Paths to Wealth from Cryptic Lore and discover what’s hidden
i remember when he was loved and wholesome. especially what he would do with warren buffet, the comments were on and they were always so positive. boy have times changed.
It was all a front…
He visited my restaurant with his ex wife once. He didn’t speak, he rocked in his chair back and forth, his wife did all the talking and ordering, they paid cash, and left (with an entourage of two security cars / guards).
Good tipper?
@ yes, the wife tipped very well, and they also left a $20 for the valets.
When did the visit of your restaurant happen?
Isn't that customary practice for Pizza Hut diners?
@ ….ha ha. The family owned restaurant I worked for regularly grossed $15-$18 million a year, one of the busiest restaurants in four nearby states. 🤷🏼♂️😂😎
His wife found out how different he was alright….which is pretty much the norm these days
and Epstein's name comes up again.
I agree with this the reason why his wife divorced him and he cheated on her
his PR team are all up in these comments
I'm not his PR team and I greatly respect him. A self-made successful person unlike the current Prez who got millions from his rich daddy
The smile on the mug shot 😅
In many interviews, including this one, Gates alludes to how lucky he was to have succeeded with Microsoft. Likewise, Steve Jobs expressed the same feelings about Apple's rise and success. One could say that the respective successes of both Gates and Jobs, through genius and luck, are due to the fact that they managed to put together all the various 2+2's when no one else did. If indeed one or more persons had arrived on the scene at the same time, or perhaps before Gates and Jobs first gained attention, and had managed to put all the 2+2's together in an even better fashion, then we'd now be talking about them rather than about Gates and Jobs. That's really it -- it was Bill and Steve who were able to seize the moment along with the pots of gold.
But don't forget, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are very different from each other.
Why do all of the billionaires want to be rockstars now🤦🏽♂️ I preferred when they ruined our lives quietly.
Why don't you know about or talk about the same kinds of people from the Gilded Age?
They didn't hide. Carnegie, Frick, Vanderbilt, JP Morgan, Rockefeller, William Randolph Hearst.
How are they ruining your life? Poor baby.
@@BUSeixas11 they've ruined yours but you're too ignorant to realize it b
Is Bill paying his fair share for taxes????
he wants to but he can’t. Just like if you owe $10000 federal tax and you pay $14000, the government will send you $4000 back to you.
Man of talent and authority
Maybe he knew he was different when he was on Epstiens island 🤢
If you haven’t read The Censored Guide to Wealth on Bovolorus yet you’re missing out big time
it's because of people like you that one day Sinéad O'Connor wrote the song I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got
Synthetic burgers for thee, the real McCoy for me. You know, I have earned it.
He’s become more humble over the years at least.
Bill is getting nervous This is his redemption tour
He is nothing like Musk.
Sure
Yup. And CBS News is more than willing to assist him. He is well aware more information is about to drop about Epstein Island!!
Damage control. People know his exploits with Jeffery Epstein, and his disastrous vaccine programs in Africa
You people never cite facts. Just badmouth and exhibit jealousy.
"Harvard dropout" is very misleading. He was nearly a straight A student at Harvard, and never went to class. He played poker, bridge, and a couple nights before the exam, read the textbook. Also, his private prep school in Seattle was the equivalent of most people's college work. Bill left Harvard because he saw a magazine article about the first PC. He knew he had to strike first to grab the operating system ownership.
I was different also jane. Thanks for tge memories
Bill Gates should be nominated for Nobel Peace Prize in 2025. It is his 70th birthday and he has done a lot for health care, education and combating poverty
He should be charged with crimes against humanity
Bill is a monster Don't let him fool you
Stop using the internet then. He's an American genius.
@@yvonneplant9434 wrong!
What makes him a monster?
@@yvonneplant9434 LOL, Bill Gates ignored the Internet for years when it first was widely available. I worked for Microsoft during the 90s, I would not trust Bill Gates!
@@jeffpetrie7744 Medical test without consent
always geniues have weirdness that makes them smart and rich
being autistic myself, I can guarantee you that date is on spectrum, he just has not been diagnosed. This is an example of how people who are considered “different“ can become the world‘s most brilliant.
The way Gates treated Paul Allen is all one needs to know about Bill Gates.
How did Bill Gates treat Paul Allen?
@@OWEN-CASH Gates tried to rob him blind while Allen was fighting for his life with cancer.
@@OWEN-CASH Terrible and betrayal. Paul Allen played a crucial role in securing the initial deal with IBM for MS-DOS, which became the dominant operating system and gave the initial funding to start. But when Allen was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the early 1980s, Gates allegedly took advantage of his illness to renegotiate their partnership agreement, reducing Allen's share of the company.

So annoying how they temark on him regretting his divorce, but don’t show him speaking about it. I wanted to hear that!
Bill was blessed with many caring people when he was growing up, in addition to his attentive parents. I am thoroughly convinced such an environment builds great brains. Not to say genetics and hard work didn't play a role, but it's those relationships that provided plenty of neural connections and a strong foundation, allowing a him to be courageous enough to reach for the stars.
He made companies ability to hide from customers an artform.
"...here was the source code that was almost certainly going to lead to some pretty amazing impact." And when did he realize that?
Bill Gates was talking about rocking, as I’m listening I was already rocking. Of course I’m in my early 70s it’s not like I’m 12!
he knew he was different when he got the VIP seating on epsteins plane
the vip seat on the epstein plane is insane 😭🤣🤣
how tf do you even think of this my guy
He knew he was different when he looked at his bank account.
Lock him up
The Rebranding Of BG The Bad Guy !!!!
Its a shame how certain groups have made him out to be a villain.
I'm not a fan of billionaires. Especially worshiping them as a certain group of people have come to do. But given the amount of money he donates each year, and basically every penny going to help people. Respect. I truly think hes one of the few whos not a raging narcissist. Who truly wants the best.
Yeah……we a real shame that someone so evil was made out so
I wish he'll help out with our housing crisis and homeless problems
Bill and the rest of the billionaires are not giving enough. He still has over 100 billion $$, after his divorce, after paying taxes, after giving to many charities. So many of us are trying to survive on Social Security. We were underpaid our entire lives. He could give so much more to Americans.
I'm so excited
Yuck
He knows that Americans are waking up to his evil and is trying to put a new face on his corruption. A good start will be to shut down his USAID funding, which supports his depopulation agenda. Pure evil.
So many of you people talking about the fact that he's a billionaire that has nothing to do with it He's evil stop hating on billionaires look at their actions in their deeds

May 6 is also my birthday, this year I'll be 49.
I just have one question to him, has he ever use a MacBook?
I don't really care about rich, trust me... just communicate with the world
Won't be such great living in 2050 even if you can get up out your chair
You know what car I want? T h e new Volkswagen van.
He is my hero. I wish he lives a long time, so he can help more people in the world. Maybe he should run for US presidency? :-)
Wow all the money he's giving away for different projects imagine if every billionaire did that
Very cool.
Bill Gates wasn't that much more smart or talented than a lot of people. His enormous success can be attributed to his hard work ethic, his vision of what the personal computer would become, being in the perfect time in history to help make that vision a reality, and the one thing all successful people need... luck.
Absolutely
Keep telling yourself.
Okay, if that makes you feel better 😊
Keep telling yourself that, Bill Gates is definitely smarter than the average bear. Compounding factors are that he was born in a rich western democracy; America, to rich parents, who valued education and nurtured his interests, he also worked very very hard at a time when that could translate into success. I highly recommend that you read outliers by Malcolm gladwell.
@@byronwilliams7977 First, I didn't say he wasn't smart, I said he wasn't smarter than a lot of people, which is true. Second, being born in a "rich western democracy to rich parents" is the 'luck' part.
Imagine being married to him.
Fiat e-500 is amazing city car I tested it last year
Love Bill 🐻❄️🙆🐰 Thank You for Wonderful softwares!
Lifted Steve Jobs ideas, married Karl Malden, helped rotovirus in Africa...Bill's life has taken many fascinating avenues.
* Yawn * Steve Jobs lifted the idea of the Graphical User Interface he used for the Mac from the work done at Xerox PARC.
How Bill Gates knew he was built different.
never liked Bill but I loved his wife…she got tired of him going on 2 week ski vacations every year with an ex-girlfriend and dumped his a$$,
His wife is pretty attractive,. I’m surprised he even lasted that long with her. Who did he cheat with him? It’s not like he’s a babe magnet. Wasn’t he married to his wife for like 30 years so who was his ex-girlfriend someone that stuck around for that long? Or was this affair going on that long and finally got caught?
@shelleycharlesworth5177 You didn't say his wife likes skiing or not?
@ you missed the point...he repeatedly vacationed with an ex girlfriend against his wife's wishes! She put up with that nonsense for years but finally dumped him after he kept flying to pedophile island with Epstein!
@@j.l.5935 That was one of the conditions for their marriage was that he could still go somewhere with his ex once a year. Pretty weird. No way would I agree to that, no matter how successful and interesting the guy was.
@@corianddel Now Bill have new girlfriend, he still go skiing with ex girl?
Oh no, I'm slowly out of the bad luck
If Paul Allen wasnt there beside you you would not be there be where you are now! You took advantage of him totally and stoled from him! Truly Evil!
With Sillicon Valley Bank gone we might have even fewer people like this
I like challenge
I live in Montana and am aware of The Gates philanthropic recipients, mostly out of the U.S. . 80 billion dollars and not sure a single dime has landed in Montana, not far from Seattle.
He is not the government. He can give to who he wants to give. Ask the president the cult voted for if people in need are not getting their aid
I love this guy❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
Im on the spectrum and so is my entire family. Math and patterns are adored, social activities are pure death😂
Now this is a great man unlike Bezos and Musk
I can feel you...😁
I think that was assembly that he wrote.
I can tell Bill gates, ( even he was a boy) he is a genius and a handsome.
He wasn't just meeting with epstein, his money enabled him and he was a willing participant. He's also the largest private owner of farmland in the US and wanted in several third world countries for crimes against humanity.
His wife is pretty attractive,. I’m surprised he even lasted that long with her. Who did he cheat with him? It’s not like he’s a babe magnet.

This guy bill gates is like one of those guys that walks around saying the world is nigh while all the time shoving cash under his bed
Eek! An “oligarch!”
Imagine Bill Gates being interviewed by Alex Jones.
I am now
7:46 Larry Summer sighting
He's not a robot....Extroidnaire.
Hey Bill, if you want people to like you, be a good person. Don't pretend to be a good person, and get over the primitive instinct to want status.
Okay, how can he be a good person?
💛
Image rewrite anyone?
What network was bill gates invested
Lots of luck, especially IBM new inventions that they did not use time and money to patent, that Microsoft then used to design DOS 3.1 then Windows 95 that did so well against the Apple computers.
Some billionaires give very little to charity, Bill is an exception 💰💰💰
So, why does he still have over $100 billion?
He's just a regular guy like you and me getting a burger in his fiat i'd like to see the rest of his car collection
Yeah……right
Let's hear more about Epstein.
Wow, i need 1 billions dollars
Mr Gates is a wonderful and intriguing human being. Even with flaws and his regrets, he truly is a gift to humanity. The world is a better place because of him.
I’m not goat.But Epstain ’s lover was became goat. She can’’t come out of prison for 20years.
That's a terrible story. Epstain didn't really love her.He just used her for his bussiness.
It's a scary world.
I don’t give a damn about Bill Gates. Stop giving billionaires airtime!
Yep. Welcome to the age of the algorithm. Populism, upvotes, little heart icons, money, advertising, eyeballs. We are being crushed by our own inventions.
Sitting around a campfire and sharing stories, looking at the person who's a little too quiet and wondering how to help them come out of their shell, we don't do that so much anymore.
Dear Microsoft,
Please develop a superior, open-source video platform that outshines RUclips-one free from scammers and the endless barrage of scam ads. A secure, user-friendly space for creators and viewers alike would be a game-changer.
Sincerely,
The Internet
He's def diff, but NOT in a good way!!!
❤❤❤
Bill Gates was privilege, got help from his rich Mommy .
Ya, that’s it. 😂
The current President got help from his rich Daddy... you must be in rage!
Bill Gates showed genius intelligence in high school. And was diligently programming when we did not know what that was. KYI: his father was one of the most prominent attorneys in the Pacific Northwest, and represented companies like Starbucks. Ignorant, jealous, MAGA, for you.
Should be in jail for life.
STOP using every single computer. Especially the one you created that comment from.
@ Apple?
Let me guess, you get your "news" from fox.
@ never watch Fox ,or any mainstream media, and ESPECIALLY, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
…Or at least not featured on CBS
I would like to read the biography Source Code. I admire the achievements of Bill Gates.
i should eat mcdonalds😂😂😂
Epstein knew Billy was different 😊😜🥸
Bill gates ain't nothing he took apple computer interface ideal the same time I wondered why IBM didn't create an interface as such instead of just type across the screen
This comment section is gonna be fun
black guy walks up and says hi, how can i help you
bill gates immediately folds arms in a defensive, closed posture
lol
Oh shut up
- gates is my lost twin...jesus! glad i finally solved this puzzle before i step off the curb.
😢😢😢😢😢❤
