Gates has donated nearly $31 billion in stock and cash to his foundation over his lifetime. If the Microsoft cofounder were not such a prolific philanthropist, neither Ortega nor anyone else on Earth would be anywhere close to as rich as Gates.

Gates rocks and God bless him with his foundation. Ortega congrats to him though.

$79.5 billion Ortega. The source of thier wealth can be accounted for. Some Nigerians with ill gotten wealth have more than $79.5billion.

Such monies are in share holdings, then real estate. It can not be hidden or stashed in banks really. No Nigerian has such money. Someone like Mrs Alakija has over 100 million dollars real estate then shares.

Bill Gates is tired of the position; more philanthropy charity to avoid unnecessary tax

While in Nigeria GEJ foolishly empowered touts and non entities like tompolo and Asari and made them billionaires without any source of income than sabotaging our collective oil wealth. They think they own the oil because it falls in their region forgetting that as long as we remain one Nigeria, we all own the oil.




Too many irresponsible billionaires in nigeria sad

You say we all own it? Lols keep deceiving yourself while they keep enjoyin their oil well.

[quote author=wildchild1 post=49227670]The competition is high, Bill will bounce back definitely [/quote

Bro the Ortega guy just keeps his money. He does not give to charity. Bill gates has given close to $31billion on charity. If to say he kept all those money nobody in the next 10 years will be richer than him. He is the only one I see giving to charity. I know others do but less people feel their impact. Bill Gates impact is felt in every country I see him go to.

Wonder why Nigeria didn't invest in all these stocks sef angry All they know is share from Federation account week in week out chopping free money angry #ediots

The problem is that Nigerians breed recklessly so there is pressure on these governors and others to keep the money as a slush fund to pay for schooling, health care etc for their families and supporters.

Because Europeans are more individualistic and more private it is more difficult for people to approach them to make demands and easier for them to tell people 'no' and to subsequently keep and grow their reserves.

We just heard how this man is a reclusive, just as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are. It's easier to grow your money when you value your personal space and privacy. Keep your circle small and you will save your money but have too many children and associate with other fools who like to have too many children and your expenditure will most likely outstrip you income.

Quality > Quantity.

Ortega is a greedy billionaire.

Gates and Zuckerberg are the most generous billionaires.
In fact, Mark Zuckerberg has given more than 90% of his wealth for philanthropy. He is currently the most generous billionaire in the world.
more than 90%? Meaning his networth would have been more than $500billion? Bros you're a liar

Yes, I tell you. Bill Gates has given do much of his wealth. I'm sure he would have been worth over $100bn . I think billionaires should learn how to give.

Forbes has already released dia ranking naming Gates richest man for 2016 with over 90billion, so pls where op for get this very special rankings?

I thought same too, considering the fact that I just read some few days (few weeks?) back that Bill G. had hit the US$90Billion mark... while A. Ortega was still in the seventy-somthing range. O well...

In veiw of the above statements, I hereby pronounce Bill Gates as the richest man in the whole world.
My advice: Do not despise the little beginning.

After speaking your English Ortega still remains the richest man presently...
