Hard to know the name of the richest man in the world. Consider that there are a lot of wealthy people that do not want it known how much money they truly have. Obviously many would want to protect their privacy. All we have to go on is the people who will submit information like this to magazines and newspapers.

It was Bill Gates, but due to a recent fall in tech stocks, it is now Samuel Robson Walton. He's the head of Wal-Mart.
