Bill Gates still the richest | |
|
||
| Time: 20:15 EST/01:15 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

Microsoft Chairman and co-founder Bill Gates once again topped the list of richest Americans, even though his net worth tumbled some 20 percent over the last year, along with the sinking stock market, to $43 billion. Gates remained ahead of famed investor Warren Buffett, whose $36 billion fortune put him at No. 2, according to Forbes' list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, to be published in the Sept. 30 issue of the magazine. | ||

| Well, I would like to have one billion in "paper money". |

davis bacon, its ALL paper money... so is warren buffet, so is the WALmart family.
Do you realize how much higher the walmart fortune is than BillG, if it weren't divided into family members? |

moor: you mean the Walton fortune, not the Walmart fortune...
Sam Walton did a couple of other things than just Walmart. It would be a bigger fortune, but simply because Sam had been around much longer than Bill, investing and such. Not exactly fair compairing a lifetimes+ fortune to Bill's fortune. |

| When did Sam Walton die? It seems to me that Bill Gates has been on the top of the Forbes list for many years. Did I miss the years when Sam Walton was at the top? |

Sam Walton died in 1996, IIRC. It was mid-90's, at any rate.
Waltons own like 4,5, and 6 on the Top 10 list, don't they? -d |

Chris - That's pretty good! If you consider the world population is like 6 billion it puts you in the top 10%!

| If he was going of off richest person in America, though, that's not too good. |
