It sounds a little far-fetched. If you are the one-in-a-million (literally) who can pull off a Bill Gates style career trajectory, good luck to you.

Yeah, I didn't take it personally or anything.
As for dreams... you know when a entrepreneur is doing a startup, venture capitalists often look for a exit strategy within 10 years? (Not that I'm necessarily looking to start my own business from seed funding or anything) As far as looking at these sort of things, a decade is more or less the timeline you are looking at (experiance aside)
I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) Google has a secret algorithm that parses through data at a high rate, but what made Google what they are today is just a simple interface. Google is less then a decade old. Facebook is incredibly easy to hack, young, yet is worth a few hundread million. For a young entrepreneur, these two companies are excellent examples of how one would cross the chasm from a startup in the seed round to capturing large market share. I mentioned a few times, the "A" quality worker - I don't think I'm quite there yet, but I'd like to get there. I believe if you want to be a Googler or a Facebooker, you need to be "A" quality.
I don't know if what I'm going to do will work out in the end, and it encompasses a few ideas, but we'll see where it goes. I think for my initial launchpad, competition dominates the market through economies or scale, but that doesn't mean that I won't be able to leverage my ideas to extract dollar figures value out of it.
