400 richest Americans
Bill Gates: $46 billion (Microsoft)
Warren Buffett: $36 billion (investment genius)
Paul Allen: $22 billion (Microsoft)
Walton heirs: $20.5 billion each (Walmart)
Larry Ellison: $18 billion (Oracle)
Michael Dell: $13 billion (Dell)
Steve Ballmer: $12.2 billion (Microsoft)
Cox heirs: $11 billion each (Cox Cable Communications)
It is interesting to note that the Walton heirs, five of them, each inherited $20.5 billion. Eh. So that family has over $100 billion in assets.
The 400 richest Americans, all worth over $500 million, control nearly $1 trillion ($1,000 billion).
I get depressed when I see so much money... How would you spend it....

What's the point?You can only wear one pair of shoes at a time,eat one meal at a time,live under one roof at a time,drive one car at a time.The only reason I'd want to earn so much money is to spread it around.I know Bill Gates does this through charity.How about the others?
