During an interview with Bill Gates, he admited that he is a real fast-cars fans. And this is what got himself his famous mugshot.

When Microsoft was based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1978, he bought a Porsche 911 and used to race it in the desert; Paul Allen had to bail him out of jail after one midnight escapade. He got three speeding tickets--two from the same cop who was trailing him--just on the drive from Albuquerque the weekend he moved Microsoft to Seattle.

As a result he decided to buy a Porsche 930 Turbo and he called it the "rocket," then a Mercedes, a Jaguar XJ6, a $60,000 Carrera Cabriolet 964, a $380,000 Porsche 959 that ended up impounded in a customs shed because it couldn't meet import emission standards, and a Ferrari 348 that became known as the "dune buggy" after he spun it into the sand.
