Except for the 100+ million shares of Microsoft he still holds. (According to the NYTimes.)

Quote

“Microsoft will always be an important part of my life’s work and I will continue to be engaged with Satya and the technical leadership to help shape the vision and achieve the company’s ambitious goals. I feel more optimistic than ever about the progress the company is making,” Mr. Gates wrote in his post.

I can't work out if the OPs "brilliant idea" was facetious or not. But it was a brilliant idea and apparently very succesful.

All I know if they start dropping data centers in the ocean and on my next deep sea fishing trip I hook one and pull it up....I'm taking it home and modding it to be my new awesome gaming rig!
