In an interview Bill Gates said, he wished he was not the richest man in the USA. He dont like to have that much attention, he mentioned. Do you believe him? Would you think the same? Or you think only a very rich man can think like that?

If Bill thinks he has too much money I would gladly take some off his hands! I guess being rich doesn't solve all your problems, it just gives you different problems in a better lifestyle. I don't think I would like all the media attention either but it comes with the territory!

I think that Bill Gates was telling the truth with what he said...but take a look at what he said! He didn't say he wished he wasn't rich - just that he wishes he wasn't the richest man in the world. ;) I think that eventually, I would probably feel the same way. The constant attention would probably get to me after a while. Not to mention the constant strain he's probably under providing security for his family. I have no doubt there are plenty of people out there that would just love to kidnap one of his kids and demand a HUGE ransom. Of course...it would be kind of fun showing up at my next high school reunion. "Hey, so what have you been up to, Neb?" "Oh not much, I'm just the richest man in the world."

Boy my brother would have a good response on this one. I think Bill Gates is his hero. I don't know, I bet he loves the money but I also bet he never gets no privacy.
