Bill Gates no longer richest man on earth
section: common, for your questions: KezNews forum, 6.3.2008
After 13 years on top, Bill Gates is no longer the richest man in the world. That honor now belongs to his friend and sometimes bridge partner Warren Buffett.
Riding the surging price of Berkshire Hathaway stock, Buffett has seen his fortune swell to an estimated $62 billion, up $10 billion from a year ago.
Gates is now worth $58 billion and is ranked third richest in the world. He is up $2 billion from a year ago, but would have been as rich--or richer--than Buffett, had Microsoft not made an unsolicited bid for Yahoo! at the beginning of February. Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helú now ranks as the world's second richest person with a net worth of $60 billion.

i just found out today that the $300-plus vista ultimate 86 can not be upgraded to 64 bit
without purchacing another key number. no wonder people call it m$$$$.
shouldent whe start a collecting ?
maybe if averyone sends him $1 ?
or
maybe buy a few vista's , i know i know ,its crap, but to support billy.
dude go on the microsft site than theres a link to upgrade vista 32-64 bit. u need to
type ur adress info etc and pay i think $10 for postage and stuff. apart from that its
free, same cd-key etc.
btw, u need to format/partition ur disk cause u can't
upgrade as such to 64 bit.
warren buffett is worth 62 billion and he doesn't look happy about it.
at
least gates is smilling.
hopefully if windows 7 isnt a flop that will get him back on track
see the result of software theft. bill is falling on hard times. i hope people will
finally see the hardship and pain they are causing!!
seems wrong that a mexican and a couple of indian guys are in the top 5. in those
countries you are either very rich or very poor.
don't lie!
poor bill gates i bet he feels powerless now his puny 58 billion would only last tens of
thousands of lifetimes, i suppose if he was a hard working man on a normal wage i'd feel
bad about using a pirate version of vista, but i don't
thats one list i'd be happy to even be last on....lol.
well, atleast billy helps to other countries. like in india, he donated some money. well,
for me he is still rich.
bill gates was never the richest man on earth. don't forget the people who own the
federal reserve or other central banks and the international bankers who print notes out
of thin air. please read "the creator from jekyll island" by g. edward griffin.
whats 'wrong' with indians and latino's being richer than an american? let me
guess.....you're an arrogant yank?
