Personally, their lives run quite parallel, with marriage happening within a few years of each other and even financial accomplishments relatively in step with each other. Take a look:

    I find it most interesting that they were born so closely. In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell makes the point that the environment that you are born in to has an incredible influence on your future success. In the book he points to the opportunities that shaped Bill Gates' success. Great read!
