Bill Gates is taking on the responsibility of being the richest seriously, and I highly admire him for his achievements on changing the way we live, both inside and outside of Microsoft. I wish one day I can spend more time (and a part of my fortune) on making more meaningful impact.
From Reuters:
Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates on Wednesday said he wished he were not the world's richest man.
"I wish I wasn't. There is nothing good that comes out of that," said Gates, whose personal fortune has sunk by billions since last week when the software giant disappointed investors by saying new investments would crimp earnings.
The corporate leader who made Microsoft into the world's largest software maker -- and who is also one of the biggest philanthropists -- is seen as a man who does not like publicity. He explained that he did not like the attention of being the world's richest.
"You get more visibility as a result of it," he said during an interview conducted by CNBC reporter Donny Deutsch in front of a crowd of people attending a Microsoft advertising event.

Rich Get Richer, But Not as Fast As You Think (March 6, 2006)
Income inequality is probably nothing compared to the wealth inequality. Do you know that the top 10% families share 70% of the nation's family net worth? A net worth of $831,600 lands you at the 90th percentile. $93,100 gets you the middle point. At a ...
Oh please. He "wishes" he weren't the richest man? THAT could easily be fixed in many number of ways. I suspect what he really wishes for is the ability to have normal relationships with people. God only knows how many people try to suck up to him to get a piece of that wealth or how many people are constantly trying to work some "angle" on him. It's really sad.
If Bill Gates feels encumbered by the billions his software monopoly has extorted from PC users, he can give it back to the people he stole it from, the PC user community which has paid for his crummy operating systems many times over in the guise of 'upgrades,' which were egregiously substandard and have shown only the slightest semblance of reliability in the last five years. It is said the American public craves self-deception in massive doses; this is nowhere more in evidence than in its choice of cultural heroes. No, Virginia, Bill Gates is not a second Thomas Edison; he's the greedy, short-sighted Machiavellian creep who set the computer revolution back 15 years.
I think bill gates had done a good thing with windows and all the other tools because where would be the people when he doesn`t find microsoft? I searched about all this onlineriches and how to make money and today I know that to have much money makes much more work and problems because everyone want to know how does he or she do it. Thats the first problem and then to trust banks with so much money. I thinked long about all this things and to trust some people and find good
friends that you can trust is the longest journey
in this world. Thats what stops me to find the right opportunity today.
According to the Forbes Magazine, Bill Gates's net worth is approximately $50.0 billion in 2006.
DearSir,
It is never your willing to be the richest man in the wold, all the same, you need to use the wealth as recomended by the scriptures.Others mails to you with bias minded,all you need to do is to pray and your prayers shall be answerd.
This is the little advise I have for you since I am only a boy of 19 years of age from Ghana.
