Bill Gates Reclaims Title of World's Richest Man
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,508940,00.html

According to this article on March 11th, 2009, "Despite losing $18 billion in the past year, Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates reclaimed the title of richest man in the world, with a total net worth of $40 billion."

Warren Buffett is now No 2.

"Warren Buffett is No. 2, with $37 billion. He lost $25 billion in the past year as shares in his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., dropped nearly a third in value."

According to the most recent Forbes issue, Gates recently pulled ahead. It's actively shown on Wikipedia as well in the List of Billionaires.

WOW nice to see everybody is looking at monetary riches. I am the richest I just had a granddaughter and couldn't be happier and money can't change the baby in my arms right now(my daughter is typing this cause my hands are full) just remember what is monetary value and how much can you place on the worth of a person. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/monetary+value
