    Bill Gates Retakes World's Richest Title From Carlos Slim


    Bill Gates became the world's richest person today, the first time he has held the title since 2007. His fortune was valued at $72.7 billion at 4 p.m. in New York, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
    Gates, 57, was more than $550 million ahead of Carlos Slim, who has a $72.1 billion net worth. The co-founder of Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) has seen his fortune climb about $10 billion this year. The software maker's shares hit a five-year high today, and have advanced 28 percent year-to-date.

    Good on him - I hope his life is happy though. My belief is that money can only assist you in being happy to a point. However, he is quite a philanthropist which is commendable.

    For me my requirements are simple - a villa on lake Como next to George along with some of the side benefits he appears to enjoy.
