Bill Gates, still number one . . . .

Bill Gates is still on top. Even though he lost $20,000,000,000 last year and he's given away about that amount, Gates still has $40,000,000,000 left. I guess he's not worrying about losing HIS job . . .

He fared better than the Mexican telecom guy and Warren Buffet...thats for sure. Maybe he didn't listen to CNBC for investment advice.

Isn't he retired so he could concentrate on the charity full time? I thought I heard that but then again it wouldn't be the first time I've heard things. Lots of things, man.

I dont think MSN trying to buy Yahoo helped all that much.

If he's like John D. Rockefeller, he's making more money being retired than he did while he was working.

It's all about getting your money to work for you rather than the other way around. If you figure out how let me know!

If Bill does need extra dough, he can always stop and pick up the Benjamins that people seem to throw at his feet for fun . . .
