Bill Gates’s Net Worth Hits $90 Billion
It is no longer news that Bill Gate remains the richest man in the world. What seems strange is the fact that the more he gives out his wealth, the more he seems to be getting back! There is simply no sound logic behind that but it probably tucks into the saying from the bible that it is more blessed to give than to receive. It definitely seems to be the case here.

According to the latest release by Bloomberg Billionaire Index , on Friday the 19th of August, his Net Worth has now hit $90 Billion putting clear daylight between him and the second richest man in the world Amancio Ortega by $13.5 billion dollars. With this figure, Bill Gate is now officially equal in worth to 0.5 percent of the U.S. GDP. This big jump is said to have been fueled by gains in his investments in public holdings such as Ecolan Inc., and Canadian National Railway Company.

Most people do not know something important about Mr. Bill Gates...
This gentleman has a hobby ; he travels around to convince millionaires with over fifty million dollars to give fifty percent to charity. That is his goal, to have filty rich people give half their money away ; you see even mega rich people can have hobbies : )
/ hugs ; )
I think the figure he uses is the 50 million dollar amount ...
That is quite interesting @crok. Thanks for your comments. If you do good, you will be rewarded with good in return. Little wonder he doesn't seem to be able to shake off this wealth!
