No, you don't, actually. I knew someone would say this. I do not have anything against Microsoft and specially Bill Gates. I honour most things about him.

DUDE! WTF...not REAL money...kinda like Fantasy Football or that customised F1 thing you do online...you dont GET the money...you just assume you have it, decide how to invest it, track the performance of your assets, then report on how they performed...

There is an alternative calculation that suggests he is still some distance away from being the richest man in the world.

Got the latest fro a news network ! Mukesh Ambani is not on the top ! it was a kind of rumuor that overflowed coz of a mistake in overall stat counting, we all will see him going down in a couple of days :( , i felt real proud hearing his news, but got dissapointment hearing this now :( , but what ever it is, Mukesh Ambani is now right in the league and i guess he will start to rule permanently as Bill g did for many years :p . well for NOw Bill Gates will again lead the position from the next financial year :) .

from ur stats it seems that uncle bill is regaining his position:razz: and can again reach to 2nd position.He deserves that for his contribution to make computer easy.:)

@mail2and: You at LSE? Yeah St. Gallen is a GREAT program. Only disadvantage is its a new program, so it is not very well known outside of Europe. But the brand value within Europe is fantastic!! :)

Yes, am at LSE. In general, Swiss universities are very good. I so regret not going to HEC, Lausane. They would've actually taught me finance unlike LSE, where it seems people are studying only to get jobs.

Aha...well, St. Gallen has a really strong focus on Finance though, which is good AND bad...because I wanted to do Marketing stuff also, not just a pseudo Masters in Accnts & Finance, you know? But on the upside, we get a bucketload of offers...

In fact, as early as June 2007, I might be working at Grafton Street for my MBA project!! :)
