BILL GATES: HOW A GEEK CHANGED THE WORLD will premiere on CNBC on January 12, 2012. 

Bill Gates and his audacious mission to put 'a computer on every desk and in every home' is now close to a description of modern life. In building his multi-billion dollar company, Gates made himself the richest man in the world, but he has also been dogged by controversy, as his ruthless leadership contributed to Microsoft being sued by the U.S. government.

BILL GATES: HOW A GEEK CHANGED THE WORLD is the definitive profile of this living legend, capturing the man, the businessman, and the philanthropist through exclusive interviews with Gates himself, and with his famous friends, colleagues, and rivals.

The special will air on Thursday, January 12th at 10:00 pm and 1:00 am on CNBC.
