Bill Gates is at least 6'2 or 6'3. Bill Gates father itself is 6'8, it was clearly written in newspaper when his dad visited India. I had Bill Gates along with other taller leaders. Bill was taller than Chandrababu Naidu [6'+] (former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister) one of the Indian State.

His dad could be that tall. My dad is 6'2, brother is 6'5, sister is 5'8, and Im a male at only 5'8-9 I'm a PC says on 16/Nov/08
He is 5ft9 footballed28 says on 10/Nov/08
Frank you have my full support. He always gives a 5'9 impression anonymous says on 27/Sep/08
Alex, it is possible that Bill's dad was 6'6. My dad is 6'5 and I am only 5'9. Frank2 says on 14/Sep/08
Did you see their feet? I can't tell you ow many times I've seen a celeb stand up on his tiptoes just as a photo is about to be taken. All I know is I stood right in front of Gates and I was taller by at least two inches and I'm a solid 5'11". Alex says on 14/Sep/08
Lol this is funny, considering that the current CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer (Bill Gates best friend) is 6ft 5, and when i saw them in a picture, it looks like Gates is a little bit taller than his chin, so i recon the Bill Gates is most probably 5ft 10 - 5ft 11, this was right, Gate's is that tall, because if he was 5ft 8 or 5t 9, he would be up to Steve's shoulder, but hes almost up to his nose, so i recon 5ft 10 - 5ft 11, but apparantly Bill Gate's dad was 6ft 6, somebody told me that, but i find it hard to believe. Frank2 says on 9/Sep/08
Gates is about 5'8" to 5'9". I saw him one year in Las Vegas when he addressed the NAB. Afterwards, he was at a small party I attended. He's an unassuming man who unless you knew who he was you'd have guessed he was just another nerdy guy, not the richest and one of the most influential men on the planet. Marty says on 9/Sep/08
Look at what Seinfeld is wearing at the end of the commercial though.
He's wearing sneakers that give him at least a 1.75" lift. kay says on 7/Sep/08
seinfeld/gates commercial proves he is 5-9 to 5-10 Tom says on 5/Sep/08
Just saw the Seinfeld-Gates commercial. If Seinfeld is 5-11, then Gates couldn't be any taller than 5-9. anonymous says on 16/Jul/08
sorry, vegas, i just don't see 7 inches at all. Vegas says on 2/Jul/08
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. Vinnie says on 30/Jun/08
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
also kiefer sutherland is like 5,10 or something and his dad is 6,4 Georgio says on 26/Jul/07

nothing soooo uncommon 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 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!

to gates is ok, here is the article about bill gates father, who stands at 6'6''

Clive says on 14/Mar/06
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 . |
