Forbes 500 gave Bill Gates the worth of 40.7 billion. Correct me if I am wrong on that. I heard it fast in the news.
BTW his charity that his wife runs has to give away 50 Million a day to stay non profit and avoid taxes.
So lets say the part of the TV group that can drive to his 300 room house pay him a visit and make it all good. _________________

if he gave 50 million a day that would come to 18,250,000,000 if he is only worth 40.7 Billion, that wouldnt be to smart IMO. I have heard that he does give away insance amounts of money tho. _________________ Killing is my bidness ladies and BIDNESS IS GOOD!!!! |

Working to start a non-profit, I can tell you this isn't true. The charity is only worth about 20 Billion. However, for Foundation status, the IRS does require that a percentage be given away each year. _________________

Did you catch this, at the end of the article?
Quote: |
Four of last year's billionaires were wiped out entirely; Swiss shareholder activist Martin Ebner, German media tycoon Leo Kirch, Brazilian television mogul Roberto Marinho and Turkish banker Mehmet Karamehmet.

Can you imagine losing $1 billion in 1 year??? _________________

Lol all you have to do to spend $1 billion in 1 year is to buy an insanely large amount of land in a worthless country... Like Canada ... And then fund a revolution and you've got your own country! Governments suck up money like nothing else in the world. You guys remember when the U.S. army revealed that it paid $1,200 for ONE wrench? |

I can tell you that they dont actually pay that much for a wrench, they pay like $20 like everyone else. The other $1,180 goes towards "black" programs, such as Covert Ops, and Classified Research/Development. _________________

Does anyone one man really need that much money when there are plenty of people who are starving elsewhere? _________________ I need to make a sig, but I don't have the time. Maybe I will eventually. |
