Can I have 1%, please? It's only $210,000. Pocket change.

Or, I'll just take a G5...

Thanks.

I don't think I could handle that much money. I'd be snowmobiling all winter and riding dirtbikes & motorcycles all spring, summer and fall.

If you can't handle, just pass it on to me. I'll handle it with ease.

Only 262nd? Come on, let us help him place at least top 5. I say everyone needs a G5 and an accompanying Powerbook.
I, ASIMO.

Uhm... 1% of 2.1billion is $21million. How about if Steve agrees, you keep your $210,000 and give me the rest.

You can have the 2, I'll keep the .1. It reminds me of +1 anyway.

Oops, my bad. I hit an extra zero on the calculator. I'd still take $21 million, if you insist.

Anyone else notice how many from Russia on that list? Surprisingly quite a few. Also I had no Idea that 5 Walton's are worth 20 Billion a piece was it inhereted from someone? and if so that person would be richer than Bill Gates right?

No, you hit two extra zeros...
