Gates is undoubtedly hugely famous for his immense contribution to the world of technology. However, this giving billionaire also has an eye for his favourite things. This big-heart billionaire philanthropist bought Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Codex’ for a whopping $30.8 million. According to Gates, he is “very lucky [to own] the notebook. In fact, I remember going home one night and telling my wife, Melinda, that I was going to buy a notebook; she didn’t think that was a very big deal. I said, no, this is a pretty special notebook. This is the Codex Leicester, one of the Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci. And I personally have always been amazed by him because he personally worked out science on his own and he understood things that no other scientist of that time did.”
