It was 640K (of RAM) ... but yeah, that's the guy.

It seemed to work for him, though. I remember the Bill Gates Wealth Page
from the very early days of the internet that showed it would actually
cost him money to stop, bend over, and pick up a $100 bill lying on the
sidewalk.

I found the page:

According to their figures, Bill Gates has made over $119 every 4 seconds
since the founding of Microsoft, and if it takes 4 seconds to stoop down
and pick up found money ...
