Bill Gates is no longer richest man in the World

[Mentor]

In fairness the results are slightly squewed, since at least 30 billion of gates worth has been dontated to charity (slim though has donated almost 4 billion himself so he isnt a total miser :p)
Also gates net worth was calcuated purly on microsoft chares, ignoreing his many massive holdings in a number of other incredibly profitale companys "/

[Shawnstra]

Because he donated lots of money lol. But you may never know, there could be some people who are richer that do not declare their fortune.

Where is Michael Dell !

I saw Carlos Slim somewhere, wasn't his from shares or real estate or something :S

Are you kidding? thats only about £2m. So $68b = £34b (est)

$50b = $2.5b intrest a year
$50b = $200m a month
$200m = $6.6m a day (average - 30days a month)

so thats £3.3m a day in intrest on only $50b (£25b)
so think about the bothr £9b. + Also everything from microsoft and his shares. And also. $2.5b each year he is getting intrest on that too.

And also bill gates CEO or w.e of microsoft gave $39b to bills chrarity too. (£18.5b)


SORRY IF ITS CONFUSING.

I meant 4M in pound sterling, not dollars.. I'm aware of the currency exchange prices for dollars and pounds though.

He probably don't care anyway, he's still minted.

Old tbh.


you know this world is messed when a mexican is the richest man in the world

[Burns]

This is old now lol, hes probbly the richest again now, unless hes gave alot to charity again.

well it's impossible to tell, and you can skew results any way you want. there's so many ways to count money. there's shares, costs, annual income, charity donations etc. if you give/take certain things, either of them could be.
