    Richest person in the world

    For some reason, whenever the topic comes to mind, I always find myself rooting for Gates and feel a bit disappointed when he is overtaken by someone else. I'm not sure why.

    Ah, he moved back up. He was number #3 when last I checked. I remember he was at #5 some time ago as well....could have been a couple years.
