Bill Gates
Without William Henry Gates III (Bill Gates), much of the world today, as we know it, would not be a reality. Bill Gates is currently the world’s richest man; this makes him one of the most influential people in the entire world.

Not that I support piracy in any way, but let us say there was a man named Matthew. Matthew wanted to commit piracy and run the risk of going to jail. I think that Matthew should be able to but when he gets caught he will go to
