On the evening of August 27, the latest episode of the show You Quiz on the Block with the participation of billionaire Bill Gates officially aired.

Under the guidance of "national MC" Yoo Jae Suk, Bill Gates shared many interesting stories about his life, personal views and daily habits that he had never revealed before.

During the show, he unexpectedly revealed that he is currently using a Samsung flip phone. This was a gift from Samsung Chairman Lee Jae Young himself. He humorously said: "I didn't have to pay for it, Chairman Lee Jae Young gave it to me."

Despite being one of the richest and most influential people in the world , this billionaire believes that his success comes largely from luck rather than personal ability. He calls himself the luckiest person in the world when mentioning his achievements.

"I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world. When I started Microsoft, the price of computers was starting to drop dramatically and I realized that the personal computer was going to be a reality.

The company's success in achieving such great value was also due to luck. That initial success gave me the courage to take greater risks in life and work," he said.

Bill Gates also revealed his special habit. Every year, he spends two weeks, completely separating himself from work and the outside world - a time that Bill Gates calls "thinking week".

Three books that greatly influenced him include The better angels of our nature, Factfulness, How the world really works.

When asked about his daily expenses, Bill Gates admitted that he spends quite a lot. He lives in a big house, has a large garden, a personal chef and uses a private jet for trips.

Although he sometimes feels guilty about that luxury, he said it is this that allows him to travel to many places in the world, especially Africa, to do charity work.

When it comes to artificial intelligence, Bill Gates believes that the most important thing in the AI ​​era is not technology, but "knowing what you are good at and keeping a lifelong learning spirit."

According to him, although technology can change the world, the core thing is that people must always ask themselves: "What should I do to find meaning in life?". That is why he chose the path of pursuing value, not money. That is why he is attached to the activities of the Gates Foundation.

Previously, Bill Gates attracted great attention when he announced that he would donate 99% of his personal assets, estimated at more than 210 billion dollars, to charitable activities.

Sharing with MC Yoo Jae Suk, Bill Gates affirmed that he has no intention of leaving his assets to his children, and believes that each person should be independent and create their own path. He said: "I don't want to keep money for myself. I believe that what is left should be given back to society."
