Bill Gates is off his Facebook
MICROSOFT billionaire Bill Gates has had to delete his Facebook account after being hassled by thousands of fans.
The computer mogul got so hooked on the social networking site that he splashed out £120million on a 1.6 per cent stake in it last year.
Bill, 52, spent 30 minutes daily catching up with pals.
But he signed off after getting more than 8,000 friend requests a DAY, and spotted weird fan sites about him.
A colleague said: "Sadly the attention does mean Bill has had to close the account which got him so hooked in the first place."
