Read today that there 765 billionaires in the world! And I think $1,000 is a lot of money! ;D
Heading the list was Mr. Microsoft, Bill Gates, worth 500 billion (that half a trillion!!). Can't even imagine that much money!
Among the poor relations, Oprah is only worth 1.4 billion and Martha Stewart dropped off the list after her losses due to incarceration. She is only worth half a billion!
Amazingly, no one in the BB industry is on the list!!! ;D

What's scary about Bill Gates' money, is the interest. The money earned on that amount alone will have him being a trillionaire by the end of the decade (not including any new products/investments etc.... and even scarier is that the interest he makes in one hour is more than I made last year!  |

Vinny, you're right! There was a typo in that article and the paper printed a correction. Should have known anyway that is was "only" 50 billion.
This is what happens with old age. And Tim is just a few years behind me!! j/k ;D
Thanks for the correction.

He is "only" worth about $50 bn (see here: www.forbes.com/lists/2006/10/Rank_1.html ). Poor guy, I wonder if he can survive on that.  |
