New List of Billionaires

Forbes is out with its annual list of billionaires. Once again, Bill Gates was on top of the list with his net worth rising to a eye-popping $50 Billion dollars. This reminds me of the old Chris Rock joke, where he says "If Bill Gates woke up and realized that he was only worth as much as Oprah Winfrey, he'd jump out the building and slit his throat on the way down!"

Warren Buffet ranked second on the list, although the value his net worth dropped by a cool $2 Billion to $42 Billion. You can read the complete article from the AP here, or wait until the next edition of Forbes.
