* Dr. Z of Bangladesh narrowly missed the top 20 list.
* Whether distinguished member of BC, ‘Oracle’ is in the top 20 list is not yet verified. He is still counting his stock options to verify his real worth in today’s market.

He has fallen off the list ever since he began sharing his $$$ with you.



I thought the IKEA guy was at # 1 just not long ago. How did he fall behind by this much ? Or had Bill Gates' fortunes shrunk that much then ?

i think mr. bill stopped buying ikea stuff so the result was less money for ikea and more saved money for MS...

And yeah how the hell you got the info cause zia told me not to tell u about that
