For more of the backstory, you should read the WSJ’s piece, “Raising Bill,” which details what it was like to raise the world’s richest man when he was just a cocky, argumentative twelve-year-old who fought with his mother all the time. Or more simply, a prick. Bill tells Charlie Rose that the psychologist did help him change, though: “I was a little bit nicer.” [Charlie Rose]
