In the set of multiverses that forked when Bill Gates made that decision, Bill Gates is still a billionaire in every universe where he diversified. In the universes where he was ride or die with $MSFT, he is a trillionaire in some, broke in others, and everything in between.

Fun fact: if Bill Gates hadn’t listened to Warren Buffett and hadn’t sold his Microsoft shares to diversify, he would be the world’s first trillionaire, worth twice as much as Elon. What do we learn from this story?
I don't actually believe in multiverses, but thinking in this way can help you discern whether you're making robust decisions.
