Default Bill Gates? Pah. No longer richest......

......in the world.

He is only worth £31.3 Billion, thats half a Billion less than Mukesh Ambani, the worlds Richest person at £31.6 Billion.

Fuck me, thats some money.

In dollars, he was only worth $20 Billion in March and is now worth $65 Billion. 7 months?

its all very good being the richest but is his product in pretty much every home/business in the world?

its some achievement to be the sole dominating force in what is a multi billion £ industry that affects pretty much every person in the world!

this guy may have the most money, but in generations to come they'll always remember who bill gates is.

thats worth more then money

Put it this way - more money than you will ever be able to comprehend in your lifetime

I would be MORE than happy (and set for life) if I had just ONE percent of that fortune! If my GCSE maths (that I failed ) serves me right, thats still £310m (Or is £310m 10% of £31b?)

Looks like his daddy was loaded to start with. Doubt it's coincidence he's the eldest son
