Gates can visit any McDonald’s worldwide and enjoy a free meal for life.

    This is fucking retarded, of all the people to get free meals for life, they choose someone who is so rich it wouldn’t surprise me if he could buy the entire chain of restaurants.

      That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

        Even if he did stop and order at McDonald’s, he’d probably still pay for his meal.

        Would be pretty funny for him to go in during rush hour and order free food for everyone waiting in line using the card… though there probably is some fine print.

          I’m betting someone like Gates stopped carrying a wallet with money in it decades ago and is so far disconnected from the price of anything because of his vast wealth that he may not even think to pay for his meal, not because he feels entitled, but because he has had ‘people’ to do that for him for so long.

            He had a game show thing on Ellen a while ago where he thought something cost $25 that was a couple dollar item.

            He absolutely has no idea how much everyday items cost.
