Bill Gates and school kids
hehehehhe......The current richest human being in the world, Bill Gates, has joined popular social media platform, Instagram.
The richest person in the world made his debut on the photo-sharing
platform on Friday morning under the username “thisisbillgates”
(“billgates” was already taken). His first Instagram post is a slideshow
of three photos from Tanzania.
He captioned his photos thus:
"Hello from Tanzania, Instagram! I just had a great lunch with
some amazing kids at Kicheba Primary School in Muheza and met Upendo
Mwingira, a remarkable physician who has dedicated her career to
fighting neglected tropical diseases. Melinda and I have been coming to
Tanzania for many years now. I always love seeing how much progress the
country has made to improve health and provide opportunity. Plus, the
scenery is stunning. Whenever I travel to places like this, I wish
others could come along and meet the people I get to meet. I have no
doubt it would leave them as optimistic as I am about progress happening
around the world. I’ll be sharing photos from my adventures here on
Instagram, and I hope you’ll follow along."
This comes just three weeks after another tech billionaire made his
Instagram entrance – Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos. For a brief
morning on July 27, Bezos usurped Gates’ reign as the richest person in
the world on the FORBES’ Real Time Billionaires List. Gates has taken
the No. 1 spot on the FORBES annual Billionaires List for 19 or the past
23 years.
Gates also shared this photo
While Bezos’ first post included drone aerial footage to promote
his rocket factory, Gates has taken a more subdued tone for his debut by
sharing his optimism for progress in the developing world.
Gates is already on Facebook and he has been on Twitter since June
2009. Gates also has a personal blog where he shares a variety of
content, from book recommendations to a 360-degree video of Gates
interviewing President Jimmy Carter.
