1) Bill Gates

William Henry Gates was born in Seattle, Washing­ton, in 1955.

He is an American business executive, chairman and chief executive officer of the Microsoft Corporation. Gates was the founder of Microsoft in 1975 together with Paul Alien, his partner in computer language de­velopment. While attending Harvard in 1975, Gates together with Alien developed a version of the BASIC computer programming language for the first personal computer.

In the early 1980s. Gates led Microsoft's evolution from the developer of computer programming languages to a large computer software company. This transition began with the introduction of MS-DOS, the operating system for the new IBM Personal Computer in 1981. Gates also led Microsoft towards the introduction of application software such as the Microsoft Word proces­sor.

Much of Gates' success is based on his ability to trans­late technical visions into market strategy. Although Gates has accumulated great wealth from his holdings of Microsoft stock, he has been known as a tough competitor who seems to value winning in a competitive en­vironment over money. Gates still continues to work per­sonally in product development at Microsoft.

In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Production Company Lucas film, turning it into a studio Pixar. He remained CEO Pixar and principal shareholder until the studio was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2006, making Jobs the largest private shareholder and board member of Disney. Difficulties in developing a new operating system for Mac led to the purchase of NeXT by Apple in 1996, the Next STEP operating system to use as the basis for Mac OS X. Under the deal, Jobs was appointed adviser to 1997, Jobs returned control of Apple, leading the corporation. Under his leadership, the company was saved from bankruptcy and a year later became profitable. Over the next decade, Jobs has led the development of iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone and iPad, as well as the development of the Apple Store, iTunes Store and App Store. The success of these products and services, to provide several years of stable financial returns, allowed Apple to become in 2011 the most valuable public company in the world.
