Bill Gates orders a Gulfstream

Long time Bombardier customer Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, has for many years flown around in Globals. With N194WM being reserved against G650 6321, it seems he's now moved over to Gulfstream. The register shows the old N194WM (now N194WF) was built in 2008 which for your average billionaire is well over-due for replacing. His other Global N887WM is of the same vintage so there may be a 2nd one coming at some point.
As with most cherished registrations, they have meaning. WM will probably be for William and Melinda (his wife). They met in 1987 (887) and were married in January 1994 (194). The G650 is currently being fitted out at Appleton WI.
