According to property records, Gates didn't just buy a home—he strategically snapped up nearly an entire street in the exclusive equestrian village.

Francisco Guerrero, a humble construction worker originally from Spain, once lived a dream that many only fantasize about: he won the lottery. In 2005, his winning ticket earned him 240 million baht — roughly $7 million USD. But what seemed like the beginning of a carefree life turned into a bitter nightmare two decades later: no home, no money, and a life marked by misinformation and misplaced trust.

There, he says, they wined and dined him with promises and pleasantries. “They took me out to lunch, gave me two glasses of wine, and I signed everything they put in...
