Bill Gates has been impressively named one of the world’s richest people for decades. He famously topped the list from 1995 to 2017, holding the number-one spot for 18 out of 23 years.
Speaking to students at the University of Washington, Gates highlighted that while millions of dollars provide “meaningful freedom,” the difference between having a substantial amount and having billions is not as life-changing as it might seem.
“I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars; there’s a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that,” Gates said.
But he added a surprising twist: “Once you get much beyond that, I have to tell you, it’s the same hamburger. Dick’s [Drive-In] has not raised their prices enough.”
