They were all seated on a wooden desk, and unless told, no one would think of him as a rich man.
The Microsoft founder’s demeanour in the midst of the children proved that he was enjoying their company.
Perhaps, it could be one of his many educational tours that he ended up with the children.
The photo was sighted by Legit.ng on the Instagram page of media personality, Peace Hyde.

According to her, as a young boy, Bill Gates had visited a newspaper stand to get a copy of one story he needed to read about, however, he had no money to buy.
Then came a boy who worked around there, and he promised to get Bill the newspaper, and he did just so.
Another time, Bill said he had returned to the stand again to get another copy, but with the same old story of not being able to afford, the boy came around again and gave him the newspaper.
When asked how he could fund it, the boy responded that he would pay from the little profit he made.
Many years had passed and Bill Gates is now the world’s richest man.
According to the story, he had mounted a search for the boy who once helped him, and was able to find him after one and a half months.
He told the boy he had come to pay back the kindness he showed him many years ago because he is rich now.
Bill Gates reportedly asked the boy to ask for whatever he wanted, however, he rejected the offer with an explanation:
“You can’t compensate it! Because I gave you when I was poor. You want to give me when you are rich. So, how do you compensate?"
Bill Gates then answered the question: “I think that man is richer than me.”
The photo has excited many people who have reacted.
