Usually the people that say this are the ones w/o money. I remember some comedian once said that money doesn't buy happiness, but it will buy a jet ski, and have you ever seen anyone frown while riding a jet ski?

good point xD

nah actually money alone wont buy you happiness...
if i had like 50k bucks now i wouldnt be any happier than i am because i am sad right now, but heck, if i was happy my happiness would be like kinda multiplied...

Glassed Silver:mac

most rich people are unhappy but there still many that are happy and bill gates ia good example, as long as you dont get attatched to the money youll be fine and if you donate alot of money to charity then you will be happy.

hahaha I cant hahahaha stop hahahahaha laughing hahahahaha I hahahaha think hahahah I hahaha am hahahaha going hahaha to hahaha puke

what a moron

The way you word that sentence, you make it sound like a bad thing.

I would have said: "At the rate Bill is generously donating to charities, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, I'm surprised his rank isn't falling faster than it is."

Bill gets a lot of flak about Windows all the time. Why not make him seem a saint for once?

exactly, how many people are there out on the internet that hate microsoft and windows and call bill gates satan even though he's donated so much to charity, windows revolutionized computing whether linux users want to admit or not and bill gates has donated billions to charity and he's only starting to get credit for everything he's done when a few years ago people would throw pies in his face. wtf is wrong with this world? people hate him because outlook lags!

Windows still sucks (it's getting better but still) but he does do a lot of good with his charity work, I'll give him that.

Exactly. Let's see where he is...next year.

excuse me? what exactly do you mean A MEXICAN overtook Billy?

It's not like he has $59 billion in his savings account, though. Most of his money is tied up in Microsoft (just like most of your money is probably tied up in your home, unless you're a renter). He can't just give it all away. What he does give away is probably a huge percentage of his "take-home pay."

is not just in Mexico, In Latin America in general. Mexico have very good companies that service to a lot of countries.

Yeah, just look at the name of his company, American Movil. That suggests to me that he services not just Mexico, but Central America, maybe even South America, as well.

A Mobile phone business is likely to make money even in poorer countries. The sad truth is that a mobile phone comes a lot higher on the poorer families priority list because of an inflated sense of status than something like decent housing or education for your children.

the guy has businesses all over the place. he also owns the parent company of CompUsa in the states. I've read somewhere that he's also a board member at SBC communications in the USA. he's a busy guy. However, I find his "charity" actions to be hypocritical. He has made most of his fortune with his communications company in mexico, he pretty much has a monopoly there for phone systems. his company charges outrageous prices for service, some of the highest in the world. then he comes around "wanting" to eliminate poverty. hmmmmm...... Makes me think that most of his donations serve him more than they do to the people that may get something from him. The tax write offs must be good for him. If he really wanted to help out poor people, he would charge a more reasonable rate for phone service. Let me put it this way, if the americans had to pay the equivalent amount to what mexicans pay for phone service, there would be MILLIONS of americans without phone service.

Mexico has a much better economy for making money than you think. An intelligent and hard working middle-class person has more opportunities to start a business and become rich in Mexico than in the US.

There are many Mexican families making millions in Mexico with honest and clean businesses.

I don't think so. 99% Mexico is a mess. Middle class? Please. I wish what you say was true as it would stop your main export which is the poor. If there were so many more opportunities to start a business and become rich in Mexico than in the US why the crap are millions still flooding our borders? Id love to see Mexico thrive as it should, but as it is you got a long way to go. How about some of you successful Mexican business men take back your country?

Yes, because you clearly know more than Huezo who actually lives in Mexico. Clearly.

Substantiate your imbecilic 99% claim with established statistical data.

Dude, never argue with an idiot. Because they drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

Bill Gates likes to mutter under his breath using British terms eh?

Gates is no. 2 on that list too, not no. 1

Ha hahahahahahahhahaa

....wtf??

HAHAHA. That was awesome!
