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]\n\nGates 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.

Its Lakshmi Mittal (NRI). Here is what has to say about  his rise in 2005.\n\n"The biggest gainer was easily India's Lakshmi Mittal with an amazing increase of $US18.8 billion in 12 months. Another 18 months at that rate and he'll be pushing Bill Gates and Warren Buffett aside to take the number one position! The UK based steel tycoon is now in third position with an estimated $25US billion. He doesn't mind spending a little either, with a recent purchase of a 12 bedroom residence in London for $US100 million."

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.

First of all Bill Gates is not a celebrity.  Second, Oprah is by far the richest celebrity.  And she does not rely on getting movie roles, she already has a successful show and magazine that I cannot see going out of style anytime soon.  That woman makes serious amounts of dollars, it makes me sick.  I think she should adopt a third world country =)

Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world for the past 8 years.  I think he doesn't become a political leader because he is too busy with his co. Also, I think it is easier to be the man behind the scenes.  So, someone else may take the fall.  The richest people in the world are NOT political leaders as was stated earlier.  Bill Gates holds no political position, nor do many on the list of the world's richest.

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.
