The Final Score ? $58-55 Billion.... But Who Won???
In these times of economic woe and political strife, we here at SC6 try to take your minds off of these things, and to show all the positive that is the place we call Planet Earth. So, what do you bring up when everyone seems obsessed with gas prices, freefalling stock and mortgage and credit meltdowns? How about the battle to be America's richest man?
You know, I remember reading as a kid that John D. Rockefeller was the world's richest man, at barely $1 Billion. Boy has his butt fallen behind..... For years, there has been a dogfight between Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Berkshire-Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Well, one made a big move this month, and overtook the other - maybe for good this time.
Yep, our winner gained an amazing $8 Billion in a mere 33 days to pass the other, who lost $1.5 Billion during the same period, which is like you losing a $10 bill from your wallet. So, who is #1? The envelope please............. YOUR WINNER IS....... WARREN BUFFETT !!!!
No real surprise here... It's easy to be worth $58 Billion when the stock of the compny you run is trading for $133,000 A SHARE !!!!! Microsoft stock meanwhile, has already seen it's best days pass...... Hey don't let all this get you down. I'm sure you'll get a weeks bonus for Christmas this year....

i'll take one share please, with a side of curly fries.
I would like to have one share of both his stocks
I'm sure Uncle Warren wouldn't mind giving you guys a small loan - at 47% interest.
We all know the phrase, "Money is the root to all evil" Obama has got his eye on him!
Buffett has endorsed Obama, and Gates is pretty liberal as well, so I doubt Obama will attack either. Besides they are smart enough to have tax hedges against any income tax increase already set up. RICH PEOPLE DON'T PAY TAXES.. At least smart ones. The idiot trust fund babies I can't vouch for...
money is the root of all strippers!
