Who is the richest man in the world?   ~Alfa

Dear Alfa,

Let me GOOGLE that for you.....

William Gates III  (a.k.a. Bill Gates) is the richest man in the world although, poor baby,  he lost $18 Billion USD last year. He kicked Warren Buffett out of the top slot as richest man in the world.  The recession has hurt everyone, even the richest of the rich.

It's interesting to think about the possibilities.  Last year the world had 1,125 billionaires. Today there are 793. Where did the $1.4 trillion that they had go?  Maybe the recession was orchestrated by Bill Gates to eliminate the competition.  Hmmm.

By the way, Bill just got a little richer today.  Windows 7 was released with a whole new set of features that will guarantee a steady stream of revenue till the next bugs upgrades are released.

Bill Gates is worth $40 Billion USD

Alfa, this is an advice column.  Although Bill Gates IS UGLY and I just told you the TRUTH, I take questions in regards to life, relationships and advice in general.  Do you have any other questions?
