Not to burst your bubble (or take you off of whatever, um, medication
you're taking) but, it's really hard to end up being broke after making
it to billionaire.  Millionaire, maybe... but even if all of his
Microsoft stock were to tank tomorrow, he'll have enough time on the way
down to sell at least a few million dollars worth.  Besides, you're
(wrongly) assuming all of his assets are in securities anyway... that's
very unlikely.
