According to the list he´s the 5th richest man in the world with a net worth of $45.2 billion, and just like Mark Zuckerberg, last year was framed not only in the way in which Amazon managed to get great revenues but also because of the fact that he had the major role in one of the most controversial moments of the U.S. presidential elections. The thing was that The Washington Post -which he purchased in 2013 was the media that published Donald Trump´s secret tape in which said sexists comments.
Bill Gates: Once Again, The Richest Man On Earth
Of all the tech entrepreneurs that exist, Bill Gates is practically the most important in the history, thanks to the way in which he literally set a turning point in the technology business with its company Microsoft, and with his Holy Grail, the Windows operating system. Along with Steve Jobs and Apple, Bill Gates can be considered one of the most important tech leaders of all times, and one of the persons who helped to define the last decades of the 20th century.
According to the analysis made by Oxfam, he´s the richest person in the world, which is not exactly a surprise considering that this is something that Bill Gates achieved quite while ago, having a net worth of $75 Billion. Although last year was not so controversial for him as it was for tech entrepreneurs Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, 2017 seems to be a quite important period for his philanthropist foundation, in a world in which many things needs to be done in order to achieve a much better quality of life.
