"Bill Gates"

Edit: Bill Gates is very kind

He donates millions upon millions of dollars to starving third-world countries every year.


Also, he's a Trillionaire, but only a Billionaire here.

A billion consists of 12 0's in the UK, but only 9 in the US.

So he's actaully got about £30,000,000,000,000

Sounds about right.

if he gives some to me i'll be well pleased.

He's also supposed to have said he'll give away 95% of his fortune by the end of his lifetime.

There was an article about him in the Evening Herald the day before yesterday and it said he is 13th richest and Bill Gates is 10th.

Well, when the US Dollar went down in value Ikea was the richest man in the world, but that was about 2 months ago.

Even if he had £29,935,318,330 worth of shares in Microsoft, I'm sure if he tried to sell all of them he would get less than half that amount.
