Yes Bill Gates dropped out of high school for his GED. He was arrested for Grand Theft auto as a juvenile, but eventually turned his life around and went to Harvard where he made the dean's list for perfect attendance and a 4.0 gpa. His time at Harvard was short lived however, as he dropped out to pursue a career in computer software..thus eventually becoming the founder of the Microsoft Foundation.
