Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last decade or two, chances are you knew Bill Gates would be somewhere near the top of that list. Warren Buffett is number two on the list, Gates is one of the most famous billionaires of our lives. In fact, it was the richest man in the world for 15 of the past 20 years. As Microsoft founder Bill Gates has amassed a large amount of wealth, and as many people know, he never even got a college degree. He attended Harvard, but eventually abandoned, which obviously has not done much harm to him by the looks of it. Gates stepped down as Microsoft chairman and pledged his time to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a charity he founded with his wife. He is currently working to eradicate polio $ 335 million in pledges for the cause of six other billionaires). With buffet and more than 100 others, Bill Gates signed to give at least half their net worth to charity through the Giving Pledge.
2. Warren Buffett – The net worth of $ 58.5 billion
Besides the guy at number one, Warren Buffett is probably one of the most famous rich guy in America – and with good reason too. He is a smart investor, who happened to make all the right moves and build wealth over time – and while being practical. According to its website, www.Warrenbuffet.com, his first business was with a friend when he was in high school. He and his buddy bought a pinball machine to put in a hair salon. Instead of spending their profits, they reinvested in more machines until they had eight pinball machines in different stores. Then he sold the company and used the money to buy stocks and to start another small business. Only those activities, he had won $ 174,000 at the age of 26. After adjusting for inflation, this amount is $ 1.4 million in today’s money. It almost seems too easy, right? Of course, we all know better than that. The only thing most people admire most about Buffet, however, is not that he is rich, even if he is one of the richest men in the world, he still lives in the same house he bought in 1957 for $ 31.500 and living a relatively frugal life.
3.Larry Ellison – The net worth of $ 41 billion
Larry Ellison comes from a Jewish family in the middle class and raised by adoptive parents (her aunt and uncle) after his mother gave him at the age of nine months.
