Mr Bill Gates
Here is a small account of his wealth he owns.
Read it completely.
1. Bill Gates earns $250 every SECOND, that's about $20 million a DAY
and $7.8 billion a YEAR!
2. If he drops a thousand dollars, he won't even bother to pick it up because in the 4 seconds it takes to pick it up, he would have already
Earned it back.
3. U.S's national debt is about $5.62 trillion. If Bill Gates wants to
pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.
4. He can donate $15 to everyone on earth and still be left with $5
million for his pocket money.
5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in the U.S. If he
doesn't drink and eat, and keep his annual income at $30 million,
he'll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is
today.
6. If Bill Gates were a country, he will be the 37th richest country on earth.
7. If you change all of Bill Gate's money to $1 bills, you can make a
road from earth to moon 14 times back and forth. But you will have to
make that road non-stop for 1400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING
747 planes to transport all the money.
8. Bill Gates will be 42 this year. If we assume that he still can
live for another 35 years, he has to spend $6.78 million per day to
finish his money before his death.
The Best Part……………………..
9. BUT!!! If we the Microsoft Windows users claim $1 for every time
their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will go
bankrupt in 3 years.

I think the choice is between three people
The king of Saudi Arabia. He owns all the oil production and reserves in his country, the biggest in the world and the price of oil will only keep rising as it is getting more difficult to find new supplies. He has no real competition and can fix his own selling price..
Bill Gates is also immensely rich, but he is only a shareholder in Microsoft, though the biggest one. He has been giving a lot away and paying huge fines. His competitors are biting at his heels and some one may overtake him in the future. Industrial empires often collapse. He is certainly not nearly as secure as the Saudi King.
Then there is the British queen. Huge wealth in land, palaces, fantastic art collections and voluntary tax payments and levels Great government payments and allowances to herself and her family, free travel in whole trains, ships and planes put at her disposal and the best of everything. People devoted to her service and bidding. How does Bill Gate's house compare with Buckingham palace (just one of her seven palaces)?
I know which one I would go for, but you take your choice.

Currently that would be Bill Gates. In history though, John Rockefeller was the richest man to ever live.
