Gates hasn't been the richest in years..... #1 has belonged to the Mexican guy that owns the telcos...

That is what I thought. Article is wrong.

Sadly even just a billion dollars is too much to spend in a lifetime. I know you can force spend it all, but it is not needed. So when I look at how much they lost compared to net worth....



I could easily spend $1Billion, and $1Million is pretty much nothing these days (especially if its won or something and earned all at once and then ~39+7.5 (MN State)+Social Security ($12,000 max annual)+3(medicare top tier)% is all taken in taxes).
