Bill Gates' net worth hits $90B, proving Thomas Piketty's point

Or, alternatively, while actively working Gates averaged only about 8 percentage points better than the fed interest rate and since then he has averaged nearly 10 percentage points better than the fed interest rate. If your point is that a single data point (like the one mentioned in the headline) doesn’t prove or disprove anything, then it’s a point well taken. If your point is that starting rich isn’t a better way to accumulate wealth than being a great entrepreneur, there is plenty enough data to say you are wrong.
