Bill Gates Still World's Richest Man | |
|

| Time: 13:09 EST/18:09 GMT | News Source: Forbes.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

The rich had a very good year. The collective net worth of the 691 billionaires we could find is $2.2 trillion, up $300 billion from the combined worth of the 587 people listed last year. Every region saw gains. The world’s richest moguls now hail from 47 countries, including, for the first time, Kazakhstan, Poland, Ukraine and even Iceland. The newcomers include 69 Americans and 38 Europeans. More than half of them are entirely self-made The gap between the world’s two richest people, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, narrowed further this year, though Gates hung on to his superlative title for the eleventh year. At $46.5 billion the world’s richest man barely held on to top spot as Microsoft stock flatlines. | ||

| #2: You just reminded me of the Family Guy episode with Bill Gates. Peter, his father-in-law, Gates and Disney's Michael Eisner are driving down a toll road. When they get to the toll booth, Peter turns around and asks if anyone has a quarter. Bill replies, "What's a quarter?" |

"And for the 10000th consecutive year, he's the world's biggest a**hole too."
Amazing intellect and depth of vision you show there. Every now and then I show up to reply to comments like that. Really, I'm floored by the meaning and implications of a comment such as that. I'm thinking of presenting a new study for Microsoft Research to jump on to investigate the staggering phenomenon you have just described in such detail with unsurpassed clarity. That aside, what the hell is your point and why do you even bother posting here? |

#7: He has just as much right to post here as you. If you don't like that, go somewhere else. Better yet, create your own forum where only you and people who think exactly like you can post. You'd be so much happier there.

So what you're saying Latch is that he made a point with his post? You can honestly tell me that you find any semblence of intelligence in the quote:
"And for the 10000th consecutive year, he's the world's biggest a**hole too." ?? Now, had he commented on specific things about Bill, his philanthropy, his wealth, etc... and discussed them not only in a respectable manner but with reasons for his opinions as well, I'd be more than happy to listen to what he likes and doesn't like. Instead, all we get is the typical envy-driven response to Bill having a lot of money: He's satan, he's an a**hole, blah blah. So inform me where I ever said that I didn't want dissenting opinions posted? I never did and never have done so. In fact, I welcome difference of opinion because it provides an alternative point of view. There is no learning and certainly no challenge involved if one surrounds themselves with nothing but their own kind and those who simply nod in agreement to everything you say. So perhaps you should read my posts in full and actually comprehend them before replying. This post was edited by aamendala on Monday, March 14, 2005 at 20:34. |
