Bill Gates' dad was a lawyer
Bill Gates- The founder of Microsoft and currently the second richest person in the world with a net worth of $102B.

Bill was born into an upper-middle-class family and had a good upbringing. His father, William Gates was a renowned lawyer and one of the founding partners of Preston gates and Ellis which is now a part of K&L Gates LLP- one of the largest law firms in the world. He was an attorney and Bill's mother, Mary Gates was prominent in the Seattle community. Her network allowed Bill to work with IBM which was very much needed for Microsoft to grow. So, he wasn't a poor guy neither was he extremely rich.
