Forbe’s Rich List
Warren Buffett is only the 2nd richest man in the world having lost top spot to Bill Gates but still the world’s greatest investor who already has his retirement investing well provided for.
According to Forbes, both Buffett and Gates are worth $US20 billion more than Oracle’s Lawrence Ellison .
“With a net worth of $US57 billion, Bill Gates remains the richest man in America despite losing his crown to Warren Buffett for a few months this spring,”
“Buffett’s shares in Berkshire Hathaway have fallen 15 per cent since February.”
The housing crisis has also hit many billionaires
“Rising prices of oil and art paved the way for 31 new members and eight returnees, while volatile stock and housing markets forced 33 plutocrats from our rankings.
The 5 richest people in the US:
Bill Gates (Microsoft) – $US57 billion
Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway) – $US50 billion
Lawrence Ellison (Oracle) – $US27 billion
Jim Walton (Wal-Mart) – $US23.4 billion
Rob Walton (Wal-Mart) – $US23.3 billion
