Actually, I believe Larry Ellison is now the richest man.

I know they've been battling for the title for some time, but, the WIRED Magazine article above seems to indicate so.

Buffett will take over top spot very soon. That man still drives around in a second hand car.

Damn that man has to learn to live a little

They own Walmart, the biggest company in the world (or second biggest). If the original Walton was still alive, he'd be worth over $100 billion and be #1. Not fair, as Bill Gates is still not even 50 let alone 100 years old.

I bet the reason he drives a second hand car is why he is one of the richest men in the world.

FYI: Warren Buffett is the Wall Street genius that the movie "Wall Street" circa 1987 modeled the character "Gekko" was modeled after.

Buffett is the chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., who also happen to be the primary stock holders for the following companies:
Coca-Cola
Pepsi
Gillette
See's Candy
GEICO ***
and many other LARGE companies.

Kinda weird if you ask me. Maybe there's a hidden message there somewhere? LOL

Also, some of the commercials for GEICO state "Not to be confused with Gecko". LOL

I'm getting spooked here. Can someone please "Stop the Insanity!". hehehe

No it wasn't.... Ivan Boesky might be closer.
Gordon Gecko in the movie was a 'trader'...
Warren Buffett 'aint no 'trader'
- he still owns the first share he ever bought.

Hmm... Kinda strange that I was told it was Warren Buffett, in some company profile info for GEICO back when I used to work for them.

Go figure... Maybe GEICO doesn't know what they are talking about. Or maybe whoever wrote the pamphlet was mistaken.

Interesting side note - I just read in "Money Secrets of the Rich and Famous" that at his height, John D Rockefeller, who at one time controlled 90% of the U.S oil market, was worth $189.6 billion in today's dollars.

dont forget The Man Without a Nose (really) J.P. Morgan... in the 20's he was the richest, in comparision a lot more than Bill now.

Dont forget that wealth in the past was measured more with tangible assets rather than stocks as today.

Milken might be a possibility, but I think the gecko character was quite fictional.
