Those IKEA stores are always so crowded. Guess he can open other 180 stores. Good for him.

i'd rather see him as a regular person trying to build a new pc and having to pay 300 bucks for os and 500 bucks for office. then having to deal with all the blue screens and other ms bull. i'd like to ask him just how fair of a price it was then. not that it's my problem anymore. :eek:

Most people seem to forget that Gates (by himself) isn't and has never been the worlds richest man. All his so called wealth is tied up with Microsoft shares.
He is probably only 'worth' 1/10 of the numbers people attribute to his wealth.

Wrong you could say the same thing about any corporation, so he's still the richest.

For those of you that fell for the late April fool's joke bahaha, come on, he owns a furniture store.
