In 2001, American Alice Walton became the first woman to crack the top ten list of the world's wealthiest people. Walton, the only daughter of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, inherited the stock holdings when her father died in 1992. Her net worth was estimated at $18.5 billion.\n\n\nDo you think she will adopt me.....I'm cute and neat...and I would never talk back...lol

Bill Gates \n\nIt's too bad we can't all be rich enough to have special computers built for us in the Internal Revenue Service's office. Yahoo is reporting that Bill Gates is just that rich! At a conference in Lisbon, Gates claimed:\n\n    "My tax return in the United States has to be kept on a special computer because their normal computers can't deal with the numbers. So I am constantly getting these notices telling me I haven't paid something when really it is just on the wrong computer. Then they will send me another notice telling me how bad they feel they that they sent me a notice that was a mistake."\n\nSo the United States' tax office doesn't have a "normal" PC capable of handling finances in the range of US$49 billion? I'm not surprised. But if the office does need a "special" computer with a presumably "special" operating system for Bill, what OS is on all of the "wrong" computers? This is must-know info for anyone planning to start an US$80 billion software company!

It depends on what your definition of "richest" is. If you mean in terms of gross product, it's probably California, Texas, or New York. If you're talking about median income, it's Connecticut.\n\nI've been looking all over the web for sources, but no luck so far.

The richest man in the world is Bill Gates and he is only a billionaire. There are only millionaires and billionairs, no such thing as a trillionaire yet.

I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but I was told that The Queen of England is the richest, followed by J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter Author).

All the indications are that MR BILL GATES is the richest man on the planet.\n\nhowever:- \n\nThe Register (reports the following) » Bootnotes »\n\n\nMicrosoft's BILL GATES  dethroned as world's richest person by cheap furniture magnate\n\nIKEA bests the Beast\nBy Ashlee Vance in ChicagoPublished Monday 5th April 2004 \n\nAll hail Ingvar Kamprad!\n\n\nThe Swedish founder of the IKEA furniture chain has passed Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates as the world's richest person, according to reports out of Sweden. Business weekly Veckans Affarer is set to report that Kamprad holds a fortune of 400 billion crowns or $53 billion. This would put him $6 billion ahead of Gates\n\n\nBut that was in 2004 and now Mr Gates is well in the lead again.

In 2005, American business and financial magazine Forbes listed Castro among the world's richest people, with an estimated net worth of $550 million, based on his economic control of state-owned companies. In 2006, Forbes magazine increased their estimate of Castro's wealth to $900 million but acknowledged in the article that the estimates for all the leaders are "more art than science" and admitted that they had based their report on assumptions.

Bill Gates is worth over 50 Billion.  I think there was a time when Ingvar Kamprad from Sweeden may have been worth more back when America's economy tanked after 911, but Gates is worth more now.
