Bill Gates | Magnificent Compound in Medina, WA | over $147.5 million

As of 2021, Bill Gates is the fourth richest man in the world. His net worth is estimated to be around $124 billion. After all, he is the co-founder of one of the biggest software companies of all time, Microsoft. Bill was finishing up his college degree at Harvard University in 1975 when he decided to drop out during his junior year to work with Paul Allen, his fellow founder for Microsoft. Initially, he was the chief software architect, but he eventually became the chairman of the company in 2008, only stepping down from the board in 2020.

Among Bill’s several properties is his mansion overlooking the ever-so-beautiful Lake Washington in Medina. This compound is 66,000 square feet with technology incorporated in its design. It took seven years to build the estate, and it initially cost $64 million to build it. Now, it is valued at $147.5 million.
