According to the Forbes rich list, Bill Gates the founder of Microsoft, is back at the top making him the world’s richest person again.
Bill Gates net worth now is an amazing $76 billion and he’s added a lovely $4 billion in the last year alone. The main push came from the rise in Microsoft shares over the last year.
Amazingly, Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world for 15 out of the last 20 years.
Gates has already given away more than $28 billion over the years. Among tech executives, Mark Zuckerberg has gained the most momentum this year. Facebook's strong stock performance has doubled Zuckerberg's net worth and at $28.5 billion, he's now within spitting distance of Forbes list mainstays like Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Amazon's Jeff Bezos. And thanks to Facebook's massive acquisition offer, WhatsApp founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton have joined the billionaires list.
