Who is the richest man in the world?

this is possibly the stupidest question I’ve ever heard of everyone knows that its bill gates DUH…

Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world The son of a Mexico City shopkeeper has built a staggering $59 billion fortune. The 67-year-old Carlos Slim has amassed a $59 billion fortune, based on the value of his public holdings at the end of July. This number puts him just ahead of perennial No. 1, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, whose net worth is estimated to be at least $58 billion. But Gates is selling off his single greatest source of wealth, Microsoft stock, to fund his foundation, while Slim’s fortune is growing at a stunning clip. His net worth jumped $12 billion this year alone. His family’s holdings represent more than 5% of Mexico’s 2006 gross domestic product, and Slim-controlled companies make up one-third of the $422 billion Mexican Bolsa, or stock exchange.

Bill Gates

To my knowledge it is the sheik Abbudlla of the Kuwait emirates, But that is only Monetary and in life is worth very little. The true richest man is a man who is Loved by all that he may pass, a man who holds himself to the highest standards of Trust, Honor, Loyalty and most of all his word it is the only thing in life that truly makes a Man a Man or woman however the case may be. To me Money is only a tool and today it is used to do more harm then good, greed is it’s only outcome and it can and often does destroy good people.

Bill Gates

bill gates, why

bill gates

Bill Gates is now the third richest man in the world. As of April 2008, Mukesh Ambani is the richest at an estimated 63.2 Billion dollars. Carlos Slim Helu second at 62.29 Billion, Bill Gates third at 62.29 Billion as well. Warren Buffet fourth at 55.9 Billion. Wouldn’t it be nice to have just even 1 Billion!!!

Depends on what you call rich…you could have all the money in the world, and still not have a rich full life. Money doesn’t buy happiness…having control of your emotions can bring all the riches you could ask for, without having money in your bank account.

warren buffet …bill gates is now like the 3rd richest man but money doesn’t really buy happiness so they could b rich but at the same time they could b sad while being rich… ^__^
