One point five billion dollars. Sometimes, life was very, very good. For me, it didn't get much better as I sold my life's work over to Microsoft. Sure, the monopoly conspiracists and such would say I was pushing the world toward destruction by selling out to Bill Gates, but really...how would the ability to track people's online habits covertly be used for evil, and not good.

You see, I wasn't made to program the eight billion lines of code or sit in a cubicle for weeks upon weeks slowly adding padding to my nearly portly frame. With the cash that I now had in hand, I would be able to live my dream...to make movies. But, on my own terms. Not anyone elses. This is my story...the story of the building of an empire.
