anonymous in that photo you posted Click Here
5 inches shorter would be around his dads eyeline, there is no less than 7 inches there, his dad's head would be approx 10 inches long and gates only comes to his mouth, measure from the top of your own head to your mouth and see how many inches you get anonymous says on 1/Jul/08
If his dad truly was 6`6, then he has lost 3 inches of height: Click Here
I don't see much more than 5 inches, maybe 6 at a stretch. Although the difference in their shoulder height is amazing.

I saw Bill at a trade show once. I am 5'11" and Bill looked considerable shorter as he walked by - I would say 5'8-9" footballed28 says on 24/May/08
I honestly think Gates is no taller than 5'9...saw a pic of him standing with a bunch of asian executives and he was either the same height or somewhat shorter than a lot of them...so 5'9 is more suitable for him (I honestly doubt 50% of those executives are 5'10 or taller) Elizabeth says on 19/Nov/07
Mr. Gates has the essence of a comedian - so I'm betting on 5'8" and still growing. riaz says on 17/Nov/07
mr gates is 5'10. Damn,,, the guy looks shorter on screen!! You guys sure about his height??? Kévin says on 21/Oct/07
"For his part, Bill also isn't particularly tall, ringing in at 5ft 10ins (1.78m) at a time when the average American male stands about 6ft (1.83m) high." No way, the average American male stands 6ft, the average is about 5'9.25...The Average White or Black male stands about 5.10...no way 6 feet! S.J says on 9/Aug/07
yeah how the hell is he only 5,10 his dad is like 6,6

nothing soooo uncommon Viper says on 24/Feb/07
TheMan, I dont think Bill Gates is losing much sleep about the tall genes backfiring. Id rather have had the tall genes backfire on me If I could have his money. tall guy says on 22/Feb/07
clive thats rediculous 6 feet tall average in u.s, sorry but that articles about 2 and a half inches off Snapper G says on 20/Feb/07
Anybody have a height on Steve Jobs? Also, Gates might get his relative stature from mother's side of family, I have definitely seen the reverse where dad is short and son is tall, but mother is tall relatively speaking and has height in family. TheMan says on 22/Nov/06
It is insane how he's dads 6,6 at yet Bills only 5,10 in comparison. Yes i think after awhile the tall genes backfire i mean i guess they can't just keep going up. Antron says on 22/Nov/06
Re: Clive's article...Since when does the average American male stand 6 feet tall? 5'9-5'10" is the average for US males. Come on now BBC. Boins says on 15/Aug/06
He didn't look much shorter than Bill Clinton on the news last night Glenn says on 28/Jul/06
Wow! they say taller men are more sucsessful,well that throws that out the window! Seen says on 16/May/06
I think 5'10.5 is a lil bit overevaluated for Bill Gates, I got a pic of his height with the Senator Ensign (182cm) and Gates clearly looks more than 1 inch under... However with all the sites I saw on his height we can say he's a solid 178cm : Click Here
[Editor Rob: for crimes against computing, yes, 178cm on the nose] Rich says on 16/May/06
Sure Gates is 5'10 look at this site where he's with Wil Shriner who's 5'11.
You'll see there at least 2cm of difference !!!

There is a HARVESTER PROGRAM that trawls the NET for his name and classifies it into three categories: GOOD, BAD, AND VERY BAD. Hey William! Your height is good! Celebheights' your friend, OK? Clive says on 7/May/06
Yes You Can Rob !!! On every site I saw Bill Gates is ALWAYS listed as 5'10...
I took for example this one who looks quite serious :

Look at the quote : "For his part, Bill also isn't particularly tall, ringing in at 5ft 10ins (1.78m) at a time when the average American male stands about 6ft (1.83m) high." It's when he's compared to Napoléon ! Bill Gates says on 4/May/06
I am 182 cm, dear users!

This site directly shows Bill Gates and Patrick Stewart face to face.
There is no doubt Gates can't be more than 178cm!
Click Here Clive says on 14/Mar/06
Rob I found a photo which proves that Gates is under 179cm !
You've listed the actor Stewart as 178cm and on this photo he looks shorter so I think you can change his height !

I've stood within a few feet of Bill Gates at the Comdex computer show in Vegas. His entourage was so large I couldn't get too close. I tend to agree with the 5'-10.5" theory. I'm 6' and he seemed a tad shorter but close. Ujane,Moscow says on 18/Nov/05
I think he is about 181-182! This dude looks pretty well on the photos..perhars he just got such kind of body that makes him look taller! But its my opinion. Anonymous says on 29/Apr/05
I'm just a teenager, but my dad works with him, and says lately he has been seeming very tired and worn out, which could also lead to slouching. Smoke says on 8/Mar/05
Not the nicest guy in the world, Gates doesn't sign autographs if approached. Not the tallest guy in the world, but also looks shorter sometimes because he seems to prefer women who are quite tall. He does seem to be about 5'10" though. gates is ok says on 5/Mar/05
C'mon,the guy is great,he is down to earth,don't have any vices,all of his money will go to charity and invests his money for the good of mankind,not for trash like majority of other richy riches.
Anway, i read interesting thing,his dad is 6'6"(198cm) jimbo says on 4/Mar/05
Bill gates is a nerd who cares what height he is . |
