ISBN: 9780670063482.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBill Gates is many things: the richest person in the world; the ruthless businessman who co-founded Microsoft and led it to domination of the computer software industry; and now, the leading global philanthropist. When Gates was born in 1955, no one in the world owned a personal computer. A window had a pane of glass. A mouse was a rodent. As a teenager, Gates realized how computers were about to change the world, and made his fortune by riding that wave; modern teens look to him as their model of how technology can be turned into wealth. Marc Aronson’s biography is a probing portrait of a man whose name is a household word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Viking Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44950136848437,"sku":"ByrdShop_0670063487","price":62.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780670063482_c8e194c2-9628-4411-8872-a73d68ce4dec.jpg?v=1778681596","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bill-gates-up-close-9780670063482","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
