Latest addition to Golden Age Collection: <Gates is looking to the future, first in his new role as a philanthropist and then as a technology investor. And that's Bill's last secret: The Bill Gates of biotechnology is going to be Bill Gates. He has for years been selling Microsoft stock—more than $6 billion worth so far—and investing the proceeds in biotechnology and new-media companies. (See page 82 for more on the biotech industry and Gates's involvement in it.) If the 20th century was the century of the computer, the 21st will be the century of biotech. And as probably the single largest biotech investor in the world, Gates expects the new companies he is supporting to kick in and increase his wealth even further. Whatever happens to cure disease, extend life, or just keep hair on our heads, he'll own a piece of it. Some of these companies will fail, of course, but his investments (he calls them a hobby) are so broad that it still doesn't matter. Imagine what a $5 billion investment in the PC industry would have meant at a comparable time in its development. When the age of the PC is past and Microsoft is in decline, these biotech investments will probably keep Gates in his position as the richest man on earth. Then, he'll have to try even harder to give it all away.> worth.com -------------------------- ... Sector will emerge as market leader, in near future. ...
