What does one of the richest men in the world get up to all day?
Since stepping down from the helm of Microsoft in 2006, Gates has thrown himself into the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which donates money to research and charitable organizations.
Here's a look inside the daily schedule of Bill Gates, the wealthiest man in the world:
Gates claims to enjoy the chocolate cereal Cocoa Puffs, but his wife Melinda told Betsy Layne High School students that he usually skips breakfast.
If hes not traveling, Gates starts the day in this staggering Medina, Washington property. The mansion was estimated to be worth $124 million as of 2016.

Gates checks the headlines every morning. He typically reads The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist.
According to The Telegraph, his schedule is broken up into five-minute intervals Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk does the same. Every moment is carefully planned.

Its a jam-packed routine, but the billionaire keeps track of his plans and ideas by jotting down notes.
When it comes to lunch, Gates has one favorite meal in particular. In a Reddit AMA, the billionaire responded "Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger" to a question about his favorite sandwich.
Gates is a famously voracious reader, and always sets some time aside to hit the books. He also recommends a ton of titles on his personal website.

In 2014, Gates told Reddit that he washes the dishes every night, adding that "other people volunteer but I like the way I do it."
