Does Gates pay tax on his wealth? That is the vast amount, after all. I didn't think his income was vast as well.

He went from 0 to $50 billion in two decades. I'm thinking that his income is pretty good. =^)

"Working" income aside, returns on $20bn+ of investments has to top a billion on a bad year.

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.
