without checking, Gates’ wealth is probably tied up in a lot of MS stock, and he could probably walk into the office and ask the intern to get him a coffee. but yeah i think mostly retired.

Linus is still active is maintaining the Linux kernel.

and yes, this is fluff, not some kind of summit

    Gates could probably walk into most offices and get a free coffee and an impromptu meeting with the CEO if he wants to.
