Thank you!
That might be a good game.

I should also point you to this URL of the 15 richest fictional characters, according to Forbes:

I think I read about Buffet/Gates somewhere, I think the numbers came from Forbes.

tickman  March 13, 2008

Yeah, I was going by a recent new story. I'm not sure if it was Forbes or some other source. But they calculate annually in February.

A lot of their wealth is stock, and whatever affects the stock market makes them richer or not quite as rich.

And the list you cite is their peak value. Buffet is richer at the moment, but realistically, their wealth changes daily. In fact, it actually changes moment by moment.

Such arcane considerations aside, a very good game.

The numbers and definitions are from here:

It says something about at least 16 years old but I can't fit Gates into that...

Breaking news:

Right now the world's richest person is thought to be Warren Buffet, known as the "Oracle of Omaha".

Bill Gates has dropped to 3rd place, behind Carlos Slim HelĂș, a telecommunications bigwig from Mexico.

I guess it is not my fault that the sons inherit their fathers :)

Oh! you are devious, Niklas. The Tickman style of double choices is rubbing off on you now that you are up in the 400 cloud!
