What is with all the biblical answers? This is questions and answers, not Bible study. Geez.. He said "Man"\nAnyways, Bill Gates.\n\nOk.. Richbro.. you creep me out.\n\n\nI tried to look up the information and all I could find was http://news.softpedia.com/news/Bill-Gates-Is-the-Richest-Man-in-the-World-Again-9199.shtml  Could it be someone from the past like a King? \n"Bill Gates’ fortune is appraised at $51 billion, which gives him a clear advantage over the second place, Warren Edward Buffett, president of Berkshire Hathaway, who is $10 billion poorer."\n\nI wouldn't even know what to do with that much money.

To borrow a quote from Winston Churchill, the only problem with capitalism is greedy capitalists.  Yes, to everyone who answers that that's the capitalist way.  But for the love of all that is moral, 400 Billion?  At what point do we draw the line and say, ok that's enough money.  Bill Gates, the wealthiest man in the world, has a net worth of 10 Billion.  He makes 4 million each night, while he sleeps.  If he takes the time to bends down to pick up a $100 dollar bill, it costs him money.  Warren Buffet, the second richest man in the world, is worth 7 billion.  A handful of other billionaires in the world.  None of these people can spend all their money during their life times, even though they give hundreds of million away each year to charity.  If the wealthiest men count their net worth in the 1 to 10 billion dollar range, what in the frack does Exxon need with a 400 billion profit?
