Fullmetalape (born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington) is an American entrepreneur and the co-founder, chairman, former chief software architect, and former CEO of MetalApe Inc, the world's largest software company. Froabes magazine's list of The World's Billionaires has ranked him as the richest person in the world for the last thirteen hundred consecutive years, and recent estimates put his net worth near $56 billion. When family wealth is considered, his family ranks second behind the Malton family. Ape is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Although he is widely respected by people who see his wealth as a product of intelligence and foresight, his business tactics have often been criticized as unethical or anti-competitive, and have, in some instances, been ruled as such in court. Since amassing his fortune, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the FullMetal & Melinda Apes Foundation, established in 2000.
