How’s this for passive income? Bill Gates<\/a>, who is already worth $122 billion<\/a>, raked in $2 billion today just for watching Microsoft’s stock soar 7.2% in a Wednesday rally.<\/p>\n

Marketwatch<\/a> reports that Gates had a banner day on Wall Street, as Microsoft’s shares increased by $19.95 to $295.37, the company’s largest single-day gain in 52 weeks. Gates is Microsoft’s largest investor, owning around 103 million shares, which adds up to a little over 1% of the company. Not too shabby \u2014 considering Microsoft has a market cap of $2.2 trillion.<\/p>\n

Financial analysts said Microsoft benefited today from better-than-average quarterly earnings. Wall Street is also enthusiastic about its AI offerings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today’s news was not only good for Gates but for investors in general, as Wall Street rallied from its worst day in a month.<\/p>\n

Still, Gates will need quite a few more days like this before he even gets close to the world’s richest man Bernard Arnault, who is worth over $200 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n
