Bill Gates' wicked sense of humor really shines on Reddit — see for yourself by Matt Weinberger on Feb 27, 2017, 5:47 PM Advertisement
 Every year since 2013, Microsoft cofounder and world's richest man Bill Gates has held a Reddit AMA (Ask me Anything) session, where anybody on the planet can ask him a question directly. His sessions garner hundreds of questions across thousands of comments, too many for even him to answer. Gates' answers are sometimes educational, often insightful, and always interesting.

Once upon a time, Bill Gates and then-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer performed as Austin Powers and Dr. Evil, respectively, in a video for Microsoft employees. It's good to know that Gates can laugh at himself.
