I am because I have my health, a beautiful and caring wife, my 3 adult
children, 2 grandchildren + one on the way.I am not afraid or jealous of
success or wealth, in fact I admire it.I owe nobody any money I can walk
down the street with my head held high, so can my kids.I treat everybody
with respect and that is returned, I am not envious of anyone I have a F******
good sense of humour, and do you know I have the ability to laugh at myself
when I make a mistake . Wealth wise I am comfortable but that is low priority
I owe all the above to the fact I respect people and earn respect back,plus
there is always someone better than me around the corner.How richer than
that do you want me to be ?

the richest man in the world is of cause Bill Gates, as he owns Microsoft, probably the system you are using to look at this information and running your computer on.
because i know i am using it as it is the best, and it will never fail on you.
if it happens to fail he (Bill Gates) will spend millions of pounds on repairing it. thank you for reading and i hope this has helped you with your research or just plain old info you wanted to know to tell your friend.

Richest does not necessarily = $$$ (dollars)
It also means
* Having great worth or value: a rich harvest of grain.
* Magnificent; sumptuous: a rich brocade.
* Meaningful and significant
I think I am a very rich man, though I have no $. Of course, if your question was the man with the most $, then read the other answers.

Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison--Gates’ longtime nemesis in the ego-driven technology industry--now holds the top spot. Based on the closing prices of Oracle and Microsoft stock, Ellison is worth $53 billion, compared to Gates’ $51.75 billion.
