World's richest revealed

[abandonallhope]

And Bin Laden lived in a cave...

He was hidden, or holed up, in a cave for fear of retribution. Spot the difference.

Dunno. With "the 1%", "occupy movement", "credit crunch", "property bubble" etc the line may not be quite as clear as you think. Just saying.

I thought Gates and Buffet sign something in line of giving away most of their riches to alleviate hunger and to countries with malaria etc. That was a few years ago, seems like they are still accumulating.

They have donated many a billion through personal wealth. Also as far as I know Bill and Melinda Gates have pledged that more than half of their fortune will go to charities etc etc after their death.

One of them should at least try to swim in it like Scrooge McDuck.

I Lol'ed

Buffet drives his own car, doesn't have a cellphone or even a computer at his desk. He lives in the same house he bought in '57.

Now THAT is modest

Also IIRC he prefers the cheeseburger at a local place to any of the "high" roller dishes.

I admire him for who he is even after who he has become.

Where's the Free State's web designer on that list?

Lol

Not cheese burgers... It's a piece of steak.

He hardly eats veggies either and drinks only Coke (in which he has a substantial investment).

He and his deceased ex wife had a somewhat open relationship too. He is now married to the woman that his wife organised to take care of him when she moved to California.

Yeah, if nothing else he is a character.
