Bill Gates and his fortune...!!!
 
Read something about Bill Gates and his fortune:

Bill Gates earns $250 every SECOND, that's about $20 Million a DAY and
$7.8 Billion a YEAR!

If he drops thousand dollars, he shouldn't even bother to pick it up
because the 4 seconds it takes to pick it up, he would've already
earned
it back.

The US national debt is about $5.62 trillion. If Bill Gates were to pay
the debt by himself, he will pay it off in less then 10 years.

He can donate $15 to everyone on earth and still be left with $5
Million
as his pocket money.

Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn't drink
and eat,and keeps up his annual income i.e. $30 Million, he'll have to
wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.

If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on
earth.

Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another
35 years, he has to spend $6.78 Million per day to finish all his money
before he can depart from here.

If you change all of Bill Gate's money to $1 notes, you can make a road
from earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But it would take 1,400
years (non-stop) to build that road, and use a total of 713 (Boeing
747)
planes to transport all that money.

Here is the last bit of information on his wealth: If Microsoft
Windows' users can claim $1 for every time their computers hang because of Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in just 3 years :lol:

But the question remains... is he any happier?? :D

Although I am glad that he does give quite a bit to charity..

If I was so rich I think I'd give most of it to charity. If I had £50billion or whatever I'd give £49billion to charity.

Well I think theat money is perhaps the root of evil, but I'm not evil, lol. Sure I'd like to have lots of money, but only enough to buy what I wanted, and there's not much you could buy with £50billion that you couldn't buy with £1billion (except perhaps a small country or a big company, lol)

Well thing is the more u become richer ur life style changes and once ur life style is used to for rich, it is really hard to get back humble way. You may think that u just need a enough money to buy what u want now, but when u have that kind of money, ur ambition also become more and u want more things, the better things. So in a way u never fully get everything u want and i'm sure Bill Gate may want lot of thing like total control over competitor or kill all the competitor for Microsoft ;). And probably he want a nation which he can name after his company :P(now Spunkywho will kill me :lol: ).
Although he have all the money in the world, he still can't buy everything he want .

I'd imagine he wants much less than your average man on the street on account of him probably havign just about anything he could ever want or realistically be able to get.
