C'mon. All those facts show a very important fact, too: Dont use your money to buy things, save it. He is like Dagobert Duck.... that is the only reason he has that much money.

carlos slim helu is the richest man in the world not bill gates, he was back in the day but bill gates isnt now.

Yeah but richest is so subjective, he doesn't have 75 billion sitting in the bank , all it would take is for there to be a market slump in tele-communications and his worth would drop massively , compared to Warren Buffet who has a much more diverse portfolio

#129 to #123 - anonymous (02/21/2012) [-]

Because Gate's gives pretty much all his money away to charity

this would've been much better attached to a "Do want" comp

If I won the lottery or inherited some huge fortune I don't think anything in my life would change. The only thing I would buy for my personal use is probably a new truck (Dodge Ram 1500) because they are reliable, nice and are not that expensive and I can drive it in any type of weather. I'm happy with everything else I have like my T.V, Furniture, bed and all that stuff so I wouldn't spend any money on junk like that because I don't see the point in having a T.V bigger than 45'. The only other thing I do in my life is work out, but I think I would stay at the gym i'm at because I like socializing with the people there and if I bought my own personal gym I wouldn't be able to do that. What would you guys do with some large amount of money..?

#127 to #121 - rubylol (02/21/2012) [-]

What would I do with a large amount of money? Hmmmm...
I'd take my family on holiday somewhere nice, all inclusive. I would buy a new camera body and some lenses and accessories. I'd buy my pet rats a new cage and some toys! I think I'd save the rest for a rainy day. :)

You shouldn't encourage your kids to invest or have businesses. Growing up sucks, being a kid is the only time in your life when you don't have any worries, you should let your kids BE KIDS!!! Invest money for them if you want. I mean seriously, we work hard so that kids have as much time as they need to grow up and now we are telling them they need to grow up faster? They have precious little time as it is to have care free fun, don't pollute that with your dreams of riches.

#109 to #100 - XThatGuy (02/21/2012) [-]

i agree with what the post says..and i wouldn't... if i won the lotto i would use some of it for research.. some of it for pleasure, but most of it would be spent on some sort of investment...

I already know about alot of that stuff, and although part of me wants it, i stand by what i said before... although i already have the samurai umbrella and my friend has the gear ring...

#132 to #124 - xcmxcmx (02/21/2012) [-]

i want you to look me in the eyes and tell me that if you had the money you wouldnt buy a jet pack...

#135 to #132 - XThatGuy (02/21/2012) [-]

*looks in eyes*I would not buy a jetpack.... although that's part of what i want the research money for... jetpacks as they are now suck... they cost alot initially and then still cost a hell of a lot to run or can only go on water... I am currently studying engineering in the hopes that one day i may build something that resembles an iron man suit... although this probably wont happen..... at least it wont happen anytime soon.....

#136 to #135 - xcmxcmx (02/21/2012) [-]

lol yeah.. i need to buy this diamond toilet and a lifetime supply of nutella. purely for research purposes.

#137 to #136 - XThatGuy (02/21/2012) [-]

The fuck? diamonds are for idiots and i can buy nutella anyway.... i mean research such as finding a power source thats cost effective, powerfull and small enough to run something like an iron man suit.....the arc reactor does not exist...

I have already thought this through... the basic suit already exists; Raytheon’s XOS2 exoskeleton, combining this with a jetpack would basicly make a iron man suit, jetpacks already exist, however the fuel system is inadequate, thus this is the area i plan to work on... the weapons i have no idea about but they do not concern me anyway... i just want a suit that can fly and make me super strong... once the suit is built i would work on the cosmetic look of the suit and make it more like an iron man...

#138 to #137 - XThatGuy (02/21/2012) [-]

I'm currently studying Electrical engineering, more specifically Mechatronics(robotics), my friend is studding also studying Electrical engineering although for him more specifically power systems, together we plan to make a suit... although plans don't normally turn out how we hope...

EASY THERE. i was kidding.... no need to get all technical on me. i was making a joke. not asking for your life story.
