By the way, you don't think it's simply... obnoxious how you can make money simply because of "cleverly" manipulating prices? "Profit"? That antibiotics aren't produced because the medical companies wouldn't profit from them? That Microsoft would have a monopoly and overprice their products and become super rich without doing that much work?
Besides, Turing for example, made far, far, far more important technological advancements than Bill Gates ever did - yet you don't see him being nearly as rich as Bill Gates.
So you don't think it takes a lot of work to do what Bill Gates did? Honestly, I think you have no idea what you are talking about.

Et tu?
Stop dodging my questions, you have the burden of proof on you when you say that Bill Gates did work, because it's much harder to find proof of a lack of something (e.g. lack of work) rather than proving that he did work. But fine, here;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates
Notice how the only thing he did was the BASIC interpreter. Ever since 1975 he was repsonsible for "the company's [Microsoft] product strategy" - aka slacking off and letting all the other people do the work. Heck, even later "Gates's role at Microsoft for most of its history was primarily a management and executive role. However, he was an active software developer in the early years, particularly on the company's programming language products. He has not officially been on a development team since working on the TRS-80 Model 100 line, but wrote code as late as 1989 that shipped in the company's products.".
Sure management and logistics might at some times be a bit hard - but since when should one get millions of dollars every day simply because of organizing stuff? That makes no sense - like I said, Turing consistently made far more important discoveries over the years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing - just read it damn it), and yet he wasn't nearly as rich as Bill Gates - more work, less income, which was my point in the beginning and why I took the Bill Gates example.
Now I swear, if you counter this instead of presenting your own sources, I'll bang my freaking head against a wall.
tl;dr: deprived is spergin'
