Synopsis

Bill Gates' fortune is worth $31,004,950,033.64. Stacked in single bills it would reach 3379.94 kilometres - 8871.2 Empire State Buildings. Laid end to end it would stretch 3,004,579.2 miles - to the moon and back 6.2 times. Laid out flat it would cover 121.21 square miles and would represent nearly 55% of all the paper dollars in existence.



He's a rich man. And yet, so we're told, it's easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than to get Bill Gates into heaven. But how do you get a camel through that needle anyway? Using his unique number freaking technique, Gary Rimmer has all the answers.
