The problem with those calculations is that they forget to take into account that even while Bill Gates is bending over to pick up the dollar he's still making money at the same rate.

So no matter what he does, it's always worth it to pick up the dollar. Which is why he uses coupons when he goes to the Grocery store. (that's also true)
