Don’t grocery shop with Bill Gates: Software mogul appears on Ellen, badly flunks grocery price quiz

Bill Gates may be one of the richest men on the planet, but don’t hit the grocery aisles with the tech titan if you’re on the prowl for bargains. Gates appeared for the first time on the Ellen show on Wednesday, and some good-spirited wackiness occurred as the TV host asked the Microsoft co-founder to guess the prices of five items found in the supermarket.

From the outset, Gates was at a disadvantage, admitting that it was “a long time ago” that he’d last stepped foot in a supermarket.

“This will be interesting,” quipped Ellen, who informed the studio audience that they’d receive a special prize if Gates accurately guessed the prices of three of the five products within a dollar. It didn’t start out so well for Gates, who thought that a package of Rice-A-Roni cost $5 — just a bit higher than the $1 price tag. “I’ll take five,” joked Gates after the big miss.
