Armed with billions, serial entrepreneur Bill Gates never tires of seeking new fronts

If you are not stumbling into him taking a leisurely stroll in the streets of Eldoret (he did this once in 2009), or coming across his video taking the aforementioned water, then he is somewhere doing business and cementing his position among the richest men on earth.

Mr Gates, 67, was ranked the sixth richest man on earth by Forbes at the time of going to press, with a net worth of a staggering $104 billion (Sh12.69 trillion). And even as Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink and The Boring Company CEO - and now Twitter owner Elon Musk gallops into an unassailable lead atop the rich list, many will eternally see Mr Gates as the richest man on earth.
