William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American business magnate, software developer, investor, author and philanthropist. He is the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation. He has held the title of the richest man in the world several times and has one of the most recognized names in the world.
This article examines his numerology to see how he expresses his numbers.
Life path number
The life path is the total of a person’s birthdays (mm/dd/yyyy). Gates’ birthday was October 28, 1955, so 10/28/1955, which is the total for 1993, which is 22, which is a 4. If the numbers are added consecutively, the total is also 31, which is a 4. In the first calculation, the total is a main number, 22, and is considered in addition to the number 4.
An individual with life path number 22 is the master teacher. That is why they have the passion and energy to engage in science and share knowledge with others as deeply and widely as possible. Their personality develops through their efforts to learn and share wisdom.
As humans, they embrace knowledge, problem solving, and information sharing. So they become successful by teaching others and spreading wisdom. Because they act with the blessing of Destiny, they overcome challenges that come their way and teach others to overcome challenges, strengthening their understanding of the problems they face.

As reliable people, they embrace traditions, security, financial stability and logic. So they become successful through perseverance. As they persevere to succeed in life, they overcome challenges that come their way by surviving the challenge and using proven methods to succeed.

Gates has certainly proven himself to be a master problem solver, but also someone who built a successful career and subsequently a business empire over the course of his life.
Lot number
The destination number is the total of the full birth name. William Henry Gates is his birth name, so his destiny number is the total of his first, middle, and last names, which adds up to 84, which reduces to 12, and then to 3. Interestingly, if you count the three Roman numeral “I”s , the final total is 111, which also reduces to 3.
An individual with destiny number three attracts creative and romantic individuals. That is why they are often the muse of a writer, musician, painter, photographer or any other type of artist.
Their energy inspires others to embrace new ideas, change, risks and opportunities because they want the other to be creative. Destiny wants them to encourage creativity in others and support art as the spark that makes the artist shine.

When you consider the rise of the personal computer and the creative effort it took to introduce computers into people’s everyday lives, you can see how powerfully Gates expresses this destiny. I think it’s also important to keep the three ‘I’s’ in his name to get the total of 111, repeating the number 1 three times.
The number 111 is also an angel number. When you encounter 111, Uriel is present and delivering a message. Known as God’s Light, he represents solitary strength and the fullness of individual authenticity. While we are all connected, we are also distinct and sometimes need to differentiate ourselves. Uriel is the divine spirit of 1, and the light of the individual.

Within the Destiny Number there are several key numbers: the Active Number, the Heredity Number, the Soul Rank Number and the Personality Number.
Active number
You live life with your first name, and therefore its numerical value is your active number. Some people use their first name, others adopt a nickname given to them by a family member or peer, and some people choose a nickname or even an alternate name.
The “real” active number is the given birth name. Even if you legally change your first name, the active core number is the birth name your parents gave you. A legally changed name and its numerical value are more powerful than a nickname. But any name used to identify a person in the world is an active number. In Gates’ case, his active number (William) is 7, the number for the mystic or guru.
An individual with an active number 7 wants to unlock the mysteries of life. That is why they like to study metaphysics, religions and philosophy. A child with a 7 given name will typically stand out as different or out of sync with peers due to more spiritual interests. First Name 7 people often feel purposeful in a strong way, outside the norm of other numbers.
Hereditary number
Essentially, you inherit numbers from your parents. Usually the father’s surname is the one that dominates and is known in the world. The mother’s surname often becomes her middle name after marriage, when she takes her husband’s surname. Gates has a total of 16, which reduces to 7, the Mystic.
An individual with heredity number 7 inherits spirituality from one or both parents. The person must determine how to understand energy number 7 through the influence of the parent. That influence can manifest itself as support or oppression. In other words, the child is encouraged to find his or her own spiritual path or must believe and practice what the parent believes. Either way, the child learns the lesson of the parent’s faith or despite the parent’s last name being the number.
Soul urge number
The Soul Urge Number is the total of the vowels in a name, especially the full birth name. The Soul Urge is like an energy charge within a person’s numerology. The Soul Urge number ’empowers’ the Destiny number. In the case of Bill Gates, his number is 57, which decreases to 12 and then to 3.
An individual with a Soul Urge Number 3 draws energy from creative endeavor. Therefore, they work with the need to create energy. These individuals are often imaginative, visionary and smart. Accepting that you have to be creative to get what you want and make things happen can help you become more successful in your relationships and endeavors.
Gates has 3 as the number for his destiny and his soul urge, so he doubles the creative power in his numerological design. He also “puts in the time” to complete his efforts, which has clearly contributed to his extremely high level of success.
Personality number
The personality number is the total of consonants in the name, specifically the full birth name. The personality number is how people meet and interpret someone. It’s like the clothes you choose when you plan to go out, which makes people react to you in a certain way. For Gates, his number is 54, which drops to 9.
A person with personality number 9 presents themselves as wise towards others. Therefore, others see them as altruistic or as a “pushover”. People who are value-conscious advisors expect a Personality 9 to fulfill that role in life. Don’t be surprised if people treat you as someone who will listen to their concerns and problems, even if you want someone to listen to you.
This number appears in his extensive humanitarian work. He has outgrown his identity as a businessman and emerged as someone who offers wisdom born from worldly travels and opportunities to connect with the brightest minds on the planet.
Soul purpose number
Your life path number reveals your numerical engine; it is the energy that drives you. Your destiny number reveals the numerical energy the world desires from you. When you combine them, you get your Soul Purpose Number, which reveals the ‘why’ of your existence in this life.
In the case of Bill Gates, his soul purpose number is the sum of his life path number 4 plus his destiny number 3, which is a total of 7. With a combination of 4 + 3, he is here to “understand by creating something that lasts”.
An individual with Soul Purpose Number 7 can lead people spiritually and with a deep sense of purpose. That’s why they give people hope and direction. Amplify this energy to a global level and there is an opportunity to create change on the largest scale.
