Do billionaires like dividend stocks? Absolutely. Just take a look at the holdings of famous billionaire investors such as Warren Buffett and Ken Griffin. They're loaded with dividend stocks. Bill Gates stands out as another great example. Although he doesn't manage a public company or hedge fund like Buffett and Griffin do, he's donated a boatload of money to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust. And over half of this charitable foundation's $42 billion portfolio is invested in these three dividend stocks. It should come as no surprise that Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) remains Gates' favorite stock.
