    What's the story

    Bill Gates may be the founder of Microsoft with a net worth of $95.6 billion or Rs. 6.8L crore and he may also run the largest charity in the history of the world, but his antics have often proved how down-to-earth he is.

    Like recently, he was seen waiting in a queue to buy a burger in Seattle, US.

    Here's what happened.

    Details

    Gates came out in casual attire, stood patiently in line

    Recently when Gates was craving for some fast food dishes, he went out and stood in line outside Dick's Drive-in, like any other common man.

    Wearing a brown pullover in his signature style, gray pants, and sneakers, Gates waited to buy a burger, fries, and Coke.

    A picture of the incident was posted on Facebook by a former employee of Microsoft, Mike Galos.

    Gates choosing Dick's was odd as he reportedly loves Burgermaster

    Galos mentioned that he found the photo in a closed Microsoft alumni board, posted by another ex-employee.

    It is said that Burgermaster, which is close to Microsoft's first Seattle office in Bellevue, is the absolute favorite of Gates.
