Maximum PC: "Despite having given away billions in charity in recent years, Microsoft founder and non-executive chairman Bill Gates is said to have dislodged Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim, also a noted philanthropist, from the top spot on the list of the world’s wealthiest people."
Microsoft is laying off more employees, a new round after they cut thousands last year. It seems like many big tech companies are doing the same.
Amidst the AI frenzy of 2023, major players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are in the spotlight, launching their own generative AI systems.
Microsoft has made it easy for iPhone users to check their mobile updates on Windows-enabled computers.
No matter what any list says, Gates will always be the richest man in the world in my eyes. He's given away so much of his wealth to charity with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation -- over $25 billion to charity!
I don't like to count Carlos Slim in these polls. He holds a monopoly in Mexico with the government. No one is allowed to own a cellular or cable company other than him. That's like saying this Prince just took everyones wealth in the country and all the oil profits for himself and claiming worlds richest....Well no shit. Bill is richest and still has to earn it in a free market with competitors. That is impressive.
