Self-made billionaire Bill Gates reveals 3 times in his life that he's felt successful. via CNBCMakeIt
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who has an estimated net worth of $92.1 billion, says there are three distinct moments in his life where he truly felt successful: high school, his 20s and his 30s.
"There are many domains to be successful in," the billionaire responded. He then highlighted three of his most memorable achievements:"I was a success in getting good grades and test scores in high school," he wrote."I was a success at writing good code by my early 20s. The dream of the PC being an enabling tool came true by the 1990s."
While there have been time he's doubted his skills, Gates wrote that"programming is one I have always had a lot of confidence in." At age 26, Gates became a millionaire and in 1987, just months before his 31st birthday, he became a billionaire. As personal computers became increasingly popular in the 90s, Microsoft reinforced its position as a dominant tool with the release of Microsoft Office.
