What would you do with Bill Gate\'s money?
\"In the last 12 months 100,000 private sector jobs have been lost and yet you\'ve created 30,000 public sector jobs.

You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt.\" - Daniel Hannan

Lol. You are some misinformed idiots. Bill Gates is only going to leave his son and daughter 10 million dollars each... So they can make a life of their own. Gates will give all his money to charity. And, Bill Gates doesn\'t actually have 50 billion dollars. He has 200 million shares of Microsoft stock, and thats multiplied by what it\'s worth. He sold a bunch of stock a few years ago, so he only has around 200 million of ACTUAL CASH. If Microsoft is broken up, the DOJ said he can\'t hold stock in both companies, so his fortune would be cut in half, and he would be about #6 on the richest men in the world list.

Richest man in the world currently= LARRY ELLISON

No reason to call them idiots, geeze. Calm down man.

But, Animal is right. His son and daughter get enough so they never have to work in life.

Either way, back to the topic. Sony is richer then MS by far. They have been around longer, have more products, international sells and everything.

Actually Bill has a daughter and a son and I think they are both govt. agents

Impossible. His boy is maybe only 2 years old? I think he had it in \'99. His daughter isn\'t even a teenager if I remember correctly.

Microsoft is worth a heck of a lot more then Bill Gates is worth, even though he does own it.  I remember when he lost in court and they wiped out 80 billion dollars off the stock record for Microsoft.  While it was a good hunk of money the company itself is still worth way over 100 billion dollars.  Sony is really wealthy themselves but nowhere near as much as Microsoft.

I think a lot of people underestimate Sony.They say stuff like "Ohh the other consoles don\'t stand a chance when a big company like M$ is making a console". Well they are quite wrong.I like our current monopoly and I don\'t think we need another :D.

I agree, what was the last piece of sucessful hardware Microsoft made, a joystick, a keyboard, oh oh, get this, a Mouse!

Yea microsoft\'s money is imited because they don\'t sell as wide of a variety of things as Sony

plus Sony has a lot of sales in the eastern part of the world where Microssoft does not

well my vote goes to Sony - and hey there is evidence to prove it

Sony definetely.

Money doesn\'t mean Life. Heck, Job keeps the mentality up. Job brings morale.

Of course having lots of money would be great at first. But important lesson is that you get used to everything. And when you get used to the large amount of cash you have... you become greedy. You just want more and more of it.
