It's not what i asked him. There is a lot at stack being the world's richest man. It's primely to do with more money coming to you just cause you are the world's richest man.

I doubt he's too upset. Besides he's 25 years younger than Buffet.

I would like to know how there is a direct correlation. Also note that Buffet has already signed over $31billion+ in shares to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Didn't know about the donation, wow.

yea he cut his kids out of a inheritance and gave it to bill and melinda, not that they are hurting or anything both buffets son and daughter are multi-millionaires.

[iloveboost]

Anyone else notice that 3 of the 4 richest from the United States are college drop outs?

Bill gates hasnt been actively accumulating wealth for almost 10 years. He gives away money by the truckload. Warren buffett is a moneymonger.

That was in 2006. He's said for years that he would give away pretty much all of his money. The vast majority of it is going to the Gates Foundation but smaller (but still huge) donations are going to, I believe, four other charities.

I really do not think Bill Gates cares. He puts most of his money into helping the less fortunate anyways, and I recall him saying that the list means nothing to him.

I heard the same thing when the Mexican man passed him last year. You would have to be an ego maniac to really care.
