It has to be. The term filthy rich means the richest of the rich. Many filthy rich give to charities and other organizations but the percentage most give away is usually small compared to their worth, and the places their money goes almost always benefits them or their friends rather than actual people in need. Bill Gates and his wife are the exception, along with a small list of others we will call the mega rich. Most donations and charities are anonymous so the truth of who gives how much is unknown and really none of our business. Wealthy people tend to get labeled greedy because of the way most obtain their wealth, most rich people have created their wealth from other peoples losses and hardships, most of the filthy rich have burned many bridges and sold their souls to the almighty dollar.

It definatly is NOT BILL GATES with his 50 billion or so.\n\nI would have to say Lord Rothschild of the UK. His family has been billionairs before computers were even invented. He is so rich and controls so much wealth he can even hide it from the mainstream press. His family helped set up the FEDERAL RESEVE BANK and is one of the prime stock holders. Think about that since 1913 he and his family have been making money from the Federal Reserves loans. Who do you think we owe our national debt too? Its sad how uninformed the vast majority of americans are. Our debt is in the trillions every year we pay hundreds of billions to service that debt, Mr. Rothschild gets, via the corporations he is on the board of (board members are owners) a fat chunk of those intrest payments into his coffers each year. The Federal Reserve has NEVER been subject to an external audit, so its not known just how rich the stock holders are.

Listen to today's news.\n\nBill Gates will leave the day to day running of Microsoft and concentrate on his charitable Foundation functions.\n\nHe established a foundation that is worth 29 billion dollars.\nNow he can concentrate on giving his money away.\n\nSo, come up with a product that everyone wants, and soon won't be able to do without, then establish a foundation and give away millions of dollars a day.\n\nThey will name building, road, lakes and many other things in your name. Then you will have the Fame you desisre.

What an amazing question... Bill Gates is history's largest philanthropist. He has donated more than 50% of his fortune to worthy causes so far... a very significant amount of which are especially for Africa or benefit Africa.\n\nOf the amount of money (from government sources, private grants, medical R&D, etc) devoted to the worldwide eradication of polio (a very big problem in Africa), fully 17% comes from one man's pocket. He has done so much to help that I wouldn't bother to list it all here, instead I'll provide a link:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Melinda_Gates_Foundation\n\nAs you've posted this in Religion & Spirituality, I'll point out that Bill Gates is a declared non-believer (agnostic, in fact). I mention that only for people who think that charity and piety are the exclusive reserve of the 'faithful' and that non-believers are selfish hedonists...

You could be the richest person in the world.  Bill Gates, the richest person in the world, only has a high school diploma.  He did go to college though, but dropped out because he was too bored with it.  Just think of what this world needs, invent it, and make as much money off of it as you can.  Never sell yourself short.

how can poverty or being poor be a sin? ive heard sometimes being rich is easy to commit a sin. but not the other way round.

I think Bill Gate's WIFE should get the prize.  He was a cheap, money hoarding nerd until he married her.  Never gave a penny to anyone else.  Marriage and kids have made him see there are others in the world besides himself.

IKEA founder overtakes Gates as world's richest - TV\n\nSTOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Ingvar Kamprad, the Swede who founded furniture retail chain IKEA, has overtaken Microsoft's Bill Gates as the world's richest man, Swedish TV news reported on Sunday. \n\nCiting next week's edition of the Swedish business weekly Veckans Affarer, public service SVT2 television said Kamprad, 77, has a personal fortune of 400 billion crowns ($53 billion). \n\nGates's fortune is put at $47 billion, according to the latest list of the world's rich in U.S. Forbes magazine, SVT2 said. \n\nKamprad, known for frugal habits such as flying economy class, lives in Switzerland and no longer takes part in the daily running of IKEA, but has kept ownership of the company with more than 180 stores in over 30 countries in the family. \n\nSVT2 said the dollar's slide against other currencies is the main reason why Kamprad has now overtaken Gates.

1. William H. Gates III\n\nAge: 43\nNationality: American\nMartial Status: Married\nChildren: 2\nEducation: Harvard dropout\nWorth: $90 Billion\n\nWe should all just face the fact that Bill Gates will one day rule the world. By the time Windows 2015 comes out, all will fear Bill's wrath. But you gotta admit that it doesn't look like it went to his head; the richest human on Earth, and he has the dorkiest haircut money could buy.\n\nThe son of a lawyer father and teacher mother, Gates dropped out of preschool to devote all of his time to inventing Microsoft with chum Paul Allen, then just 3 years old. After drooling all over the HVAC tubes, Bill decided to go back to school for a few more years, eventually dropping out of Harvard University to work on Microsoft.\n\nThe rest, as they all too frequently say, is history. Microsoft became this huge international corporate behemoth, and is currently fighting off anti-trust investigations and accusations that it holds a monopoly. When Bill rules the world, he's going to come down and fire those federal court judges with extreme prejudice. They'll never work on his planet again!\n\nGates relinquished his role as President of Microsoft in 1998, and as CEO on January 13, 2000; both posts are now held by Steve Ballmer. However, Bill remains Chairman and "chief software architect" of the company, as well as its largest shareholder. So they still let him come to board meetings.\n\nMr. Bill once gave $17 Billion to charity, which makes Ted Turner's paltry offering of $1 billion to the UN look like chump change. He's also written a couple of books and is heavily invested in biotechnology and cellular and satellite technology. Investors, call your brokers.\n\nSo to get onto our list of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Billionaires, you must: join Microsoft (preferably early on), be an oil baron, drop out of college, get married, have 3.1 kids, inherit lots of money, and bleed your people dry.

OH MY GOD!!! I was just thinking that today.\nI had read in a tabloid that there are approx 798 BILLIONARES. But they never mentioned the poor. If there are so many rich people, then couldn't they spare a little to help out a fellow human being?? Even save some starving people from sure death?\n\nNO all they want is more and more money (most of them)!!!! How selfish and stingy is that?!\n\nPEOPLE, DONATE TO THE POOR. Don't you think that it is shameful that a person that has very little is more generous than a person that has more than his share? THINK ABOUT THAT PEOPLE AND START CHANGING...
