Let's address a few things:

1. This was not written by Bill Gates. There is a man named Charles Sykes, who wrote about rules you won't learn in school. For some reason, this speech has been falsely attributed to Bill Gates. Skyes wrote this back in 1996, when car phones were still novel.

2. It's not surprising you're struggling with this. It feels like it went through an online tranlsator to some other langauge, and then back again to English. The result is that it's almost incomprehensible and far from correct grammar.

3. The correct wording was: You will not make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Do you have any questions about the actual wording, which should be easier to understand?
