    Nothing last forever, british was on top, america came afterwards. thats the rule of nature i guess. but definitely bill gates is a better businessman, gave something to the world unique The Windows (its controversial though).

    Just because he isn't the world's richest man doesn't mean his "kingdom is getting decayed". He has more than $50 billion, I don't think he's going broke any time soon. :rolleyes:

    I don't think who is number one means much to these guys except for Donald Trump. I mean what would 10 billion more dollars mean to Bill Gates one way or the other.

    True, it is not that he doesn't care because he has so much money, he doesn't care cause he really just doesn't care. He donates money like it's nothing and spends it like it is nothing.

    He has lost billions of dollars in the past year and hasn't gained any.:p

    Donating the charities is a common practice amongst big companies. They get tax breaks from that.
    I remember Inida few years back decided to use Linux machines in schools and stuff. Bill Gates went to India and donated one billion for some social work (i dont remember what exactly it was). And india changed their mind. :) Money talks.
