Gates becomes world's richest man again, Microsoft stock keeps a-rising

Bill Gates doesn't accept anything to practice with the day-to-day operations of Microsoft. Since stepping downwardly dorsum in 2008, he's been full-timing it at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - the largest transparently operated private foundation in the world. But he'due south even so an important figure in the tech world, specially for anyone post-obit Microsoft. He'due south also back on top as the earth's richest person.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Beak Gates is back on summit with a net worth of $72.7 billion. The previous number 1 was Mexican telecommunications mogul Carlos Slim, who at present sits in the number ii position with a-aught-to-belittle-at $72.1 billion.

How did our human being Pecker have the elevation spot? Ii things. Outset, Carlos lost about $3 billion due to his primary company, America Movil, dropping xiv% in value subsequently a beak was passed in United mexican states to break up American Movil's monopoly. 2d, Microsoft is trading at its highest value in 5 years. That helped give Nib his number ane spot on the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, a position he hasn't held since 2007.

It's worth noting that Neb Gates has contributed $28 billion to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. And has plans to donate up to xc% of his fortune by the time he passes. Without donating, he could easily take been the wealthiest man.

And then Bill Gates is number one again. Big deal, right? While it won't actually alter life for you, me, or Dupree, it's worth nothing that Microsoft is doing well as a company. A company that could be doing much worse in this "postal service-PC" age.

A lot of pundits accept questioned Gates' business organization tactics while in accuse of Microsoft. Just information technology's difficult to ignore the amount of good he's done with his fortune so far and what can be accomplished over the next few decades. I'm just hoping he'll never lose his ability to spring the standard role chair. Bill Gates: billionaire, philanthropist, and virtually importantly - slayer of chairs.
