His income must be huge as well. 1.5% dividend on $47 billion in Microsoft stock is about $660 million a year in income. $55 million a month. About $2 million a day.

Yes, $1, $2, $5 billion is megabucks. I'm just wondering if Gates was engaging in some hyperbole. After all, such income is not out of line when you consider major US corporations. Are there special computers used for the complex tax returns of WalMart, Exxon or GM?
