It was on April 29, 1975 when they arrested who years later would become one of the best-known billionaires in the world. So, as they claim in The Telegraph, Albuquerque police arrested a young Bill Gates for speeding and driving without a license.

Although the exact details usually vary depending on the source consulted, most often agree that the founder of Microsoft was arrested while driving a Porsche 911 and after skipping a mandatory stop signal. The rest of the data is diffuse, there are those who say that Paul Allen, also Microsoft's CEO, was traveling with him, or that this was the third arrest of others that occurred before for the same reasons. However, there is no solid evidence of all this.
