10."我要成为亿万富翁，太糟糕了"

In high school, Bill Gates used to tell his teachers that he would become a millionaire by the age of 30. Not only he became a millionaire by 30 but he actually became a billionaire by the age of 31. This is why his children often tease him by singing the song "Billionaire" by Travis McCoy and Bruno Mars.
