William Gates III is the richest, but wealth is based on something entirely different. Therefore, it could be anyone at any given time, or all of us conjunctively. Richness depends on monetary possession, whilst wealth depends on a certain prosperity or satisfaction if you will. Usually this comes from money, ideally which is why the two are so often associated with one another. I believe everyone is wealthy to some extent or the other, and that to ourselves, we're all the wealthiest people on earth. And truly, I believe we're all correct, If we believe it.

Everyone one knows Bill Gates is the richest man in the world...but that's history news. Everyone is curious, who's living the life?
There's new proof that Warren Buffett's value-oriented investing strategy pays off: He slipped by one of Microsoft Corp.'s co-founders to become the world's second richest man, according to Forbes magazine.
Microsoft's Paul Allen lost to Buffett after the net worth of the "Oracle of Omaha" increased $4 billion, to $32.3 billion.
Allen, who was tied with Buffett for third place last year, had $30.4 billion, and came in third again, according to list results released by Forbes Thursday.
Bill Gates, the richest man on the planet. Gates — with a net worth of $58.7 billion, down from last year's $60 billion — easily retained his No. 1 position on Forbes magazine's 15th annual list of the world's billionaires.
Utah industrialist Jon Huntsman was listed No. 104 at an estimated $3.8 billion, and medical-devices pioneer James Sorenson was No. 124 at an estimated 3.4 billion.
Oracle Corp. founder Larry Ellison, last year's second-richest man, saw his net worth plummet from $47 billion to $26 billion. But that was still good enough to make him No. 4.
German retailers Theo and Karl Albrecht had the fifth spot and Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud, a global investor from Saudi Arabia, came in sixth.
German media mogul Thomas Haffa, whose conglomerate owns the rights to the Muppets, dropped from the list, however, after his net worth dropped from $4 billion to $250 million.
