Forbes has come out with its annual list of the richest
people in the world and guess what? Bill Gates is still #1 with a fortune estimated at $50 billion. There are 793
billionaires in the world, 102 more than last year and the total value of their combined fortunes is up 18% to $2.6
trillion. Included is a list of all the billionaire bachelors that are out there. Remember, you can marry more money in
15 minutes than you can make in lifetime. I searched for my own listing, but they must have been some publishing error
or freak accident that resulted in the omission.Forbes' Billionaires List

My understanding is that for as wealthy as Mr. Gates is, whenconsidering the value of his fortune in the context of inflation and current dollar value, the Microsoft chairman's fortune would amount to something akin to 1/3 of J.D.Rockefeller's worth in the early 1900s.
So much for the rich getting richer...
