Aww, I feel so bad for Bill Gates. NOT!
Seriously, though, I really like your blog. Very informative. I admire people that can hit a homerun so quickly with something like Facebook.

Well it’s nice to see somebody overthrowing Bill Gates for a change. He should enjoy life more now that he steeped down from Microsoft. As for Mark, congrats to him and his creation. In the mean time I am trying to get to 1 million readers in 365 Days. Forbes can wait!:))

Warren is a simple guy beneath the billions he make. He doesn’t live a fabulous lifestyle. I think his secret is that he’s there for the fun. He really enjoy himself making those investments. For a change, great to hear that Bill is not No. 1 this year.
