Bill Gates named 'world's most spammed person'
22 November 2004
Microsoft chairman Bill Gates reportedly receives up to four million emails a day and has appointed almost an entire department to filter his mail for junk.
According to Microsoft's chief executive, Steve Ballmer, Mr Gates is probably the world's 'most spammed' person.
Mr Ballmer told a Microsoft event in Singapore that Mr Gates gives out his email address whenever he makes a speech and only around ten emails a day are put through to his inbox after the four million pieces of email he receives a day have been filtered.
Mr Gates himself predicted at a World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos earlier this year that spam would be a thing of the past within two years.
