Hey guys something unthinkable happened.All the people related to the software industry and thier strings should stand and take a note.......:BILL GATES is no longer the richest man in the world.
According to the latest list updated by Forbes in the list of Billionaires....Bill just lost by 0.3 billion to Carlos Slim. Carlos Slim is the Mexican Telecom Tycoon and also the owner of New York times.
So Guys don't get disheartened if Bill is slowing down its probably because the other industries are catching up and that is some thing good for all us and it a good sign of the Recession getting faded away..

Poor guy,Bill Gates ,no longer the ricest man,so depressing news ,maybe he should consider harakiri..!
I think i may sympathise with a list that states whos has been the most generous in giving their millions or billions to charities,the most philantropic and generous giver in nthe world,thats a list i will like to see.

How come you call him "poor man" when he is still the second richest man in the world?! LOL
This is not the first time he lost the "first place" slot. There were times when Bill Gates was only in the second place while Buffett got the first place.
Did you also know that Bill Gates is no longer the active leader of Microsoft? Gates already resigned from active management and now spending his time with Melinda Gates, his most precious asset, a billion dollar asset! LOL
Even though Gates slide from number 1 to number 2 or 3, he is still considered one of the most powerful wealth figures in the world. He co-owns Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, the most envied mutual fund company in Wallstreet.

Ohhh.
That's sounds really bad.
I propose to open a subscription to help uncle Bill to come back in the top of the list. I can't sleep thinking he's falled down in the second place in the list of billionaires.
Do you imagine how he could feel now? Poor man. We should help him.

Well i think this would not bother Bill Gates at all. He has more than enough money that he is even giving a lot to charities. I just don't get it why Bill Gate's riches has anything to do with the recession. There are a lot of Billionaires out there, if those people will just learn to share and give most of their riches to the poor then this would be a better world. But i guess that's wishful thinking. Our only consolation is that knowing that those guys can't bring their money to the grave.

Hello amitprashar,
Bill Gates will be back on top very soon. He likes competition not as much as Donald Trump but he will want to be on Top and he will make up for the loss.
Yes, it nice to know that there are other people out there who can top Bill Gates at times but not for a long time.
Thanks and have a Great day

And that proves that no one can stay on the top forever. I think it's a good thing that finally someone was able to push Bill Gates a bit. This world must be dynamic after all, isn't it?
Wow, I never thought I would find such news here. Great!
