He may be the richest man in the world now. But, I have recently read an article in a leading Indian newspaper that the founder of Orkut will become the richest man in the world in just a few years. If I remember by 2008. That article ststed that he is paid for every activity that happens in orkut. If I remember correctly then, he is paid 50$ if anyone uploads a picture. This si just one of the examples there are a lot more like this.

click me - Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has stated that Gates is probably the most "spammed" person in the world, receiving as many as 4,000,000 e-mails per day in 2004, most of which were junk. Gates has almost an entire department devoted to filtering out junk emails. Microsoft has thousands of patents, and Gates has nine patents to his name.
Yes. Cent percent correct. Bill Gates is adjudged as the world's most influential person among very few. Bill Gates was arrested at least twice in New Mexico: once in 1975 for speeding and driving without a license. Gates' wealth briefly surpassed $100 billion making him the world's first centibillionaire. Gates gave away over $29 billion to charities from 2000 onwards. These donations are usually cited as sparking a substantial change in attitudes towards philanthropy among the very rich, as philanthropy eventually became the norm for the very rich.

I think I've heard that he is. However, I've heard that the richest PERSON in the world is the Queen of England. They say that she owns so many priceless objects that no one can even guess what her total worth is.

Ofcourse, he is the richest man in this world. But it is based on the valuation of the shares he hold in MICROSOFT CORPORATION. In terms of real assets he may not be the richest.

No, I actually heard he is one of the richest man in the world. There are other "richest" men that come from other countries. There's a very wealthy man (he's also on the list) who comes from China or Hong Kong (can't remember which) called Lee Ga Sing.

William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington) is the co-founder, chairman, former chief software architect, and former CEO of Microsoft. Forbes magazine's The World's Billionaires list has ranked him as the richest person on earth for the last thirteen consecutive years. According to the Forbes 2006 magazine, Bill Gates's current net worth is approximately $53 billion. When family wealth is considered, his family ranks second behind the Walton family.[3][4] Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. He is widely respected for his foresight and ambition.[5][6] He is also frequently criticized as having built Microsoft through unfair or unlawful business practices. Since amassing his fortune, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, founded in 2000. On June 16, 2006, Bill Gates announced that he would move to a part-time role with Microsoft (leaving day-to-day operations management) in 2008 to begin a career in philanthropy, but will remain as chairman; the announcement coincided with decisions by billionaire Warren Buffett to double the Gates Foundation, matching contributions $1.5 billion in stock per year for 20 years.[7] Time magazine has ranked Bill Gates among the world's most influential people more times than any other man, and as one of only four people in history to have shaped both the 20th century and the early 21st. Time also collectively named Gates, his wife Melinda and U2's lead singer Bono as the 2005 Persons of the Year for their humanitarian efforts. That same year he was made an honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. In 2006, Gates Foundation was awarded the Premio Príncipe de Asturias en Cooperación Internacional. In a list compiled by the magazine New Statesman in 2006, he was voted eighth in the list of "Heroes of our time".[8]
