90 billion lol, it means the percentage share of the value of his company in dollar value.


Dude Nigerian own money which is 30 billion is liquid cash, know the difference.

yeah I know that most of hia net worth is in stocks and various securities but if you are into investments u should know that securities are as good as liquid cash. furthermore most of those companies as have huge cash reserves, for example apple is said to have over 200 billion dollars in cash reserve, check link below: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/05/01/apples-cash-reserves-swell-250bn/

He'll still go down the list like others. His stay on top of the list is only temporal. He should go and ask the likes of Carlos slim, Warren buffet, Amancio Ortega etc. They all topped the richest men list, where are they today? Bill Gates is the king of them all

Yes you are right, I have worked for Amazon, I know Amazon well.


Amazon for long was not making profits, you can't compare Apple with Amazon.


Ask yourself Apple, the most valuable tech company in the world. Why is it that Tim Cooks is not one of the top 10 richest. Appl has top billionaires dumping huge money as investment. Liquid cash into the company. Do you know for years Amazon was not making any profits. Besides Apple's Iphone is designed in California and manufactured in China, the cost of Iphone is so cheap and they sell it at high price making lots of gain.

Amazon don't have the amount of funds like Apple or Microsoft.

Mark Zucherberg will be the one to own that spot in the next say 5yrs and he would be there for a while.

Bill Gates was a fool to lose this position by giving his fortune to charity.


Was it charity that made him rich?

You are a fool...whats the use of having that kind of money if cant use it to help people.....

That's the power of e-commerce.

*mobile money revolution* the 21st century business. It has begun!!!

That's after bill Gates is dead

planetx:
You people need to stop, there is no way Diezani could have looted $90 billion. No Nigerian politician or ex president is worth $90 billion and even if they are worth that amount why are you people announcing it like it's a thing of pride that this bandits have eaten you and your unborn childrens future.

I know. We know the people that believe such stories

Bezos would be nowhere close to being the world’s wealthiest person had Gates not given so much of his fortune to philanthropy.



That's my favorite part

Wow, Jeff should try and share the gala to people in the house. Make I come mail am to congratulate am self. I will get there soon, just matter of time.

EmperorKpee:
My broda, you should see the Nigerian mentality when you see `em. What most people don't know is that these billionaires they see today were not chasing money during their start ups. They were mainly after making a difference with their creative imaginations. But nowadays, most of us chase money with zero creativity.

Your right bro, the craze for money has bastardized a lot of our youths and numbed them to the suffering around them, I know a few with a lot of money yet unhappy and empty deep down,drowning this inner emptiness and pain with everyday partying,womanizing and acquiring so much stuffs they do not even need, loosing touch with themselves, they have so much yet the very people around them suffer. It's sad sometimes.

these men can Buy regions in Nigeria



wonder when we will have such powerful companies here

If they were Nigerians, they will probably be sitting home looking for jobs to feed their families. It is countries that make people and in turn, people make their communities great.

He was the wisest man, he's writing his name on gold...It's more important to make Impact in people's lives than to hug 'The richest man' title. Also at their level of wealth, giving a lot of it away is what makes them remain sane, money destroys and it will destroy them and probably their children unless they become bountifully generous.

you see why God will never bless some people......

this is what we called real billionaires not some morons that depend on Niger Delta oil before their name will be heard... government should stop monopolizing everything for Dangote let's see if he wont lose 2/3 of his fortune Ndi Ala

So the goal in life is to gather money and be storing......

Bill gate is not like most Nigerians who are just vain in nature and are only out to oppress....He started his company because that was his passion and the result of it is that he became the richest man in the world......him losing that position means nothing to him

Unconfirmed Report has it that President Putin is the world richest man with net worth of about 200Billion dollars...

yea I know that apple is richer than Amazon I was trying to say that all companies have cash reserves, Amazon is no exception. as for the part about not making profits u really do not understand the amazon business model. yes it is true they are not making "profit" as any traditional business but their aim is to dominate the online market space and maintain a high value foe their stock. that is why even when they announce quarterly losses their stock values hardly go down like u would expect. in Nigeria we are particular about cash because we operate a cash economy, money can be in different forms, stocks, gold etc in many advance economies you can meet all ur financial needs without necessarily handling cash.

Wrong!

That is the postulation of his expected 'tenure earning' if the Trans-pacific Pipeline projects are allowed during the time Donald Trump stays in power for 4yrs.

If Trump stays in power for another 4 yrs, then his worth will be unpredictably high because of the fluctuations in price of Petroleum Gas, but we are estimating that Putin and Trump may become the first Trillionaires in the world if that deal pulls through.

Meanwhile, we have to understand with alternative renewable energy in the mix, we might see a different kettle of fish.
