    Retired at 30 then enjoyed a life well lived.  Such a wide variety of interests and charitable as well.  I'm a fan.

    With the overwhelming response here, I woulda though Beyonce had died.

    Seriously though, he put his mark on the world in a good way.  Sad that he didn't ever get married or have children.

    Should we really feel sad for a guy who became a billionaire at 30, remained a bachelor, owned some insane yacht's as well as 3 sports teams? I say yes.

    Low profile guy.  Microsoft used to be the source of a lot of hatred, but they now look quite reasonable compared to other tech companies.

    Nichole worked with him, and Bill fairly early on. Peripherally. A good guy. Was nice to the employees.  Not sure how being rich because you earned it factors into whether or not condolences or a tribute is ok.  Too young.

    That's pretty cool that she got to work with them. Both Bill and Paul have used their wealth to benefit others. And that's something to admire.

    Bill and Paul are much better people than our current leadership.

    Bill and Paul are much better people than our current leadership. 
    And both are actual billionaires.
