Meet the richest man on the planet

Posted by Media Outrage on March 6th, 2008

Warren Buffett

After 13 consecutive years of being on top, Bill Gates has finally been dethroned as the world’s richest man by his friend and investment guru Warren Buffett who owns Berkshire Hathaway. Bill Gates is worth $58 billion and Buffett has been on his heels for years now. Last year Buffett’s fortune was valued at $52 billion and has seen it surge $10 billion to a whopping $62 billion officially earning him the title of the richest man on the planet. Bill Gates falls to 3rd place behind Mexican Telecom Tycoon Carlos Slim Helu who has a net worth of $60 billion. Many speculate that Gates would still hold the title had Microsoft not offered a takeover bid against Yahoo! earlier this month. Microsoft’s stock fell %15 which affected his net worth.

    I comment when I especially enjoy a post on a site or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation. It is caused by the passion displayed in the article I looked at. And on this post Media Outrage » Blog Archive » Meet the richest man on the planet. I was excited enough to drop a comment ;-) I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay. Is it only me or does it look as if like a few of the responses come across as if they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I would like to follow you. Would you make a list the complete urls of all your community sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
