Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ok-i-just-gotta-do-it dept.

So normally I resist the temptation to post this sort of thing because it just seems like a cheap shot, but I just can't hold back on this one, so Bill, if you're reading this (ya right ;) I'm sorry, but I just have to share this one. And I hope in 2021 I'm a billionaire and people are posting my yearbook pictures to take cheap shots at me too! Anyway, We recently found pictures of a photo spread Mr. Gates did in 1983 for Teen Beat magazine. Enjoy.

    These are NOT a "Teen Beat" magazine photoshoot.

    These are pictures of mr. Gates POSING LIKE models usually pose for "Teen Beat". I mean, like, learn to read.

    Tsk.

    Actually, if you look at the EXIF tags inside the JPG files, you will see the following comment:

    Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, reclines on his desk in his office soon after the release of Windows 1.0. 1985 Bellevue, Washington, USA

    And, here is the original image in Corbis.

    So, as always, Slashdot is wrong. It is from 1985, not 1983. But, amazingly enough, it actually is Bill Gates, and it is real.

    Bill Gates is the founder of Corbis...along with having investments in a lot of other companies.
