I just saw this news and you know what...when I saw this news, my mind thought why this was like a headline news? In my opinion, consumerism and capitalism have really been involved so much into our society. If Bill Gates isn't rich anymore, so what? Will this situation become the end of the world? If he were still the richest man, would he have given away his money to us? In my opinion, it is none of our business, anyway. Sigh... this news does not educate us and younger generations at all.

I've always wondered why there has to be a list published about the richest people in the world. I don't think it is anyone's business. I wonder if the people on the list like their names published?

Hello,friendship,whether bill gates is the richest person in the world or not is not really important,he will be very very rich anyway,it does not make a difference whether he ranks first,second or third,he will still donate his money to his funds for the next generation.

Yes, I agree with you. But what I don't understand is ... why it is such a headline news. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if he is No. 1 or not. It won't affect our world at all.

I have to say, he may no longer be the richest but atleast he did donate some money to good causes. I never heard of this new guy doing anything. I suppose this supports my theory that Apple is going to take over the world in 10 years! :S
