    Guess what, bill gates is no longer the richest man in the world. Now the richest man in the world is Carlos Slim Helu who has an estimated 59 billion as opposed to Bill Gates 58 billion. Interesting.

    Mate, next time you post, at least make an effort to see if it has been posted before, esp as this is old news - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=388157

    Bill Gates will be back up there. Just wait for MS stock to go up a penny or something. Besides, Gates practically gives all his money away these days.

    I just read about a romanian guy who was evaluated ad 125 billion euros by the chamber of commerce.
    He says he contacted Forbes to evaluate him as well and declare him the richest man in the world. I find it hard to belive..
