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.

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.

The total number of hours Gates has worked since Microsoft was founded, in 1975, can be determined by multiplying the following numbers: \n\n80 hours/week average work week.\n52 weeks in a year.\n22 years.\n\n\n80 times 52 times 22 = 91520 \n\nBill Gates' current net worth is estimated to be $26 billion. (I used $20 billion in the original letter because that's the net worth I heard he had last month.) \n\n$26 billion divided by 91520 = $218,531/hour. \n\nOut of curiosity, how much is this above minimum wage? \n\n218,531 subtracted by 5 gives 218,526. \n\nUsing the average hourly income of $218,000/hour, you multiply the average number of hours he works per day (16), by 218,000, and you get $3.5 million (give or take a couple hundred thous.) \n\nBill Gates goes to sleep $3.5 million richer than when he woke up\n\nHe deserves this kinda money for his smart brain.

Read it completely. \n\n1. Bill Gates earns $250 every SECOND, that's about $20 million a DAY\nand $7.8 billion a YEAR! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. If he drops a thousand dollars, he won't even bother to pick it up because in the 4 seconds it takes to pick it up, he would have already\nEarned it back. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. U.S's national debt is about $5.62 trillion. If Bill Gates wants to\npay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. He can donate $15 to everyone on earth and still be left with $5\nmillion for his pocket money. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in the U.S. If he\ndoesn't drink and eat, and keep his annual income at $30 million,\nhe'll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is\ntoday. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. If Bill Gates were a country, he will be the 37th richest country on earth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. If you change all of Bill Gate's money to $1 bills, you can make a\nroad from earth to moon 14 times back and forth. But you will have to\nmake that road non-stop for 1400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING \n747 planes to transport all the money. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Bill Gates will be 42 this year. If we assume that he still can\nlive for another 35 years, he has to spend $6.78 million per day to\nfinish his money before his death.

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.
