LordSauron Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 He got 'richer' overnight only in dollar terms. The dollar has slid in value so much lately that the rest of the world seems richer. Look at it the other way. If you convert Bill's wealth into pounds sterling then over the last year he looks to have lost about 30% of his wealth.

Gary_Player Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I just went over the richest ppl list in Forbes a month ago and there was NO mention of this guy at all :s And the walmart guy would be the richest man in the world (80+billion) but he either retired or died and split the fortune between his 4 kids (who are all on the richest ppl in the world list with 20+billion each) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noir Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 The reason Ingvar Kamprad has surpassed Bill Gates is because the Swedish crown has become higher valued compared to the sinking US dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 The digs at IKEA stuff are very interesting. I still own stuff I bought there more than 10 years ago, with no loss in quality. You guys must be animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoove Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I do wonder how it would be to be that rich. You never have to wonder if you can pay your bills this month. You can buy whatever you like, whenever you like and as much as you like. I know money doesn't bring you happyness, but it does release you from a lot of sorrows.

+John Teacake MVC Posted April 5, 2004 MVC Share Posted April 5, 2004 Windows is cheap if you have the right connections.. or a p2p program with a lot of time/bandwidth. Yeah you dont see people downloading furnature. They wont loose much business because people buy the furnature where as if everyone who used windows payed for it then Bill would be at the top all the time. Its probably becuase hes just had to shell out ?600 million for some crappy court case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetta Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 furnitiure retail chain worth $53 billion? wow :wacko: I was thinking this too. How is a furniture chain worth that much money? He's had to have done some investing on the side or something. If it's all from this company, I need to start selling furniture because I did not know there was that much money in it.

turbomonkeycock Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 When you have as much money as Bill Gates a 1 cent decrease in the value of the dollar must seem rather scary Bill will return, no doubt about that, he just needs the USA's, and world's, economy to sort itself out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
