World's Richest People

Forbes Magazine has released their list of world's richest people.

Yes, William H. Gates III is still the richest with a net worth of around $53 billion, his eighth consecutive year at this spot. Warren Buffet at $35 billion is second followed by Karl and Theo Albrecht of Germany and Paul Allen and Larry Ellison of United States.

Given that Walmart is the world's largest company right now, based on market capitalization, it's not surprising that the five Walton brothers and sister are ranked 5 - 10.

Bill Gates Net Worth Page and Bill Gates Wealth Index are interesting reads, and this comparison of Michael Jordan vs. Bill Gates (in the second half of the page) really gives a perspective on how much Bill is worth.
