Well, not as rich as you might think

Well, not as rich as Warren Buffet anyway.
In fact, not even as rich as Carlos Slim Helu.

The co-founder of Microsoft, has lost the richest man on the planet crown, a position he held for the last 13 years according to Forbes magazine.

have your say .

Well he has been giving a lot of money to charity, and maybe his stock has dropped in value?

He's the third richest man right now, which is not to little IMO. Sour comments aside he's a brilliant person as well, and that cannot be measured with money. (Not to mention his historical value for computers).

Seriously though, he's not a bad guy. If it wasn't for 98 I wouldn't have been in touch with computers like I am today.

Warren Buffet doesn't have a crazy large house, which would help. His house is smaller than mine I think. I look up to him the most out of the rich man group.
