Everything from the name of Warren Buffett’s plane to what kind of computer he uses. He replied to an “ask me anything” thread for a few hours today.
Bill Gates Foundation
When Microsoft founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates speaks, people tend to listen — more so these days as he is taking an increasingly larger role at Microsoft.
In fact, he now spends about a third of his time at the company he founded, according to an "ask me anything" thread on Reddit Gates participated in today. "My time will be about 2/3 Foundation and 1/3 Microsoft. I will focus on product work mostly," he wrote.
This isn't the first time Gates has answered questions in a thread like this, but there were still a few gems in it this time around.
Starting right away, he had a few things to say about his private plane, which he said was an "expensive guilty pleasure."

"Owning a plane is a guilty pleasure. Warren Buffett called his the Indefensible. I do get to a lot of places for Foundation work I wouldn't be able to go to without it."
