Bill Gates is no longer the richest in the world...
 

According to the latest newspaper research, it's the guy who' gradfather founded the Walmart chain back in 1962, the guy is now the CEO of the entire 5,000 store chain worldwide - 60 something billion $$. Never though retail would beat the software industry and it just shows that millionaires (billionaires) on paper (stock holders) are vulnerable to the stock market and the brick and mortar companies win... weird.

yeah, but wait some month, then Bill Gates will be only No. three in this line after me and this Wal Mart-guy.... *smile*

Yeah right

I feel really bad for Bill G now... not! :glugglug

Was Bill Gates ever the richest man in the world?

FUCKING OLD THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:thumbsup

whatever billions of dollars they have...it won't change the world...

Dam after all these posts i thought it was that "lightspeed" guy had all the dough, or the guy named "bradshaw" or "atherton"

LOL! :1orglaugh

If bill G lost it all i wouldn't feel sorry for him! His product are shitty and he's a theaf! :BangBang:

wow over 2 years it took for that reply to this thread :1orglaugh

Why on Earth would you dig up a 2+ year old lame ass thread that has false details anyway? :P

Walmart is awesome: Cheap Prices and High Quality

See Sig! :winkwink:

the richest man in the world with REAL money. i'm talking cold hard immediate cash and jewels to be used 100% as they want is probably some rich arab fuck in the middle east.

bill gates and this other guy have too much of their wealth tied up in their stocks. they can't go yanking that shit out without ruining it.

What's with the 2 year old thread?


The richest people in the world are the people who own the international banks. Where do you think the interest goes that America pays on its dept? You just don't read about them in Forbes.

mental note - watch as TGPs grow bigger than paysites in the next 5 years

I'm sure Bill Gates is not crying in his sleep for this dip in his paper value.

:mad:

well im satisfied with being #3! :thumbsup

Actually, they both did...

forbes says its bullshit
the walmart empire is spread towards the whole family
if i remember right each of the kids, mom and daddy each own something about 16billion which makes gates #1

a bump for a 2 yrs. old thread? damn stupid

Richest man in the world in "hard cash" has to be Bernie Ecclestone, the dude that runs Formula One, they rec he is worth about £3 Billion in cash

You and every other dreamer on this board :1orglaugh

I think Bill should become the richest again. What did we get from Bill Gates? Windows, Microsoft products, xbox, blah blah blah.

What did we get from Wal-Mart? Low prices, and the effect of drpoping about 10 IQ points once you get into the parking lot and another 10 when you go inside the store.

You're number 3 and asking for money on GFY! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
