While Uncle Bill has dropped to the 3rd position after 13 years staying on top of the Forbes Billionaire ranking, I still maintain my respect for this man. He together with the other team members have created Microsoft that has changed the world by making it so affordable to many individuals, family and organization. Sure -many other competitors hate him and his bran because they have been seen as shrew businessmen. But let's look at the values he has created to the world and the people.
Compared with Warren, he has made a lot of money for himself only. What values does he give to the public except advices which perhaps only help a few individuals. He has not helped to create jobs for the many people like Microsoft does. Warren is a player - a big time investor and all for himself. And very successful as an individual of course but then to himself only.
Bill has created an economy and has also helped many to become rich by creating jobs and those influences spurred on. So even if he has been knocked out of the list one day, he has remained a legend in our century.
