Bill Gates’ Mugshot
Written by: George Chittenden : 22 Sep 2019
This rather famous mugshot was taken on December 13th, 1977 when future American business magnate Bill Gates was arrested for driving without a license and failing to stop at a stop sign in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and it wasn’t his first arrest either. In 1975 he was caught speeding and driving without a valid driver's licence. Of course, the young man in this photo created the Microsoft Corporation, which became the world's largest PC software company.
Between 1995 - 2017, he held the Forbes title of the richest person in the world all but four of those years, and held it consistently from March 2014 – July 2017, with an estimated net worth of US$89.9 billion as of October 2017. Bill Gates has also made incredible strides as a humanitarian and has donated large amounts of money to various charitable organisations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
