The dork always makes sure every year that he's
at the top of the Forbes list with at least $50 billion
in worth (this year was a little over $50.1 B I think).

Anyway, since a roll of 50 pennies is about 3½ inches long,
let's see how high his penny stack is...roughly (I'll leave
out the units):

($50.1*10^9)(100) give about 5.01 trillion pennies
Dividing by 50 gives just over 100 billion rolls
These would stack to a ht. of just over 350 billion inches
which is roughly 5,535,039 miles, or over 22 times
*"higher"* than the Moon!

Or 129,519.4 tons of pennies, makes for a lot of trips to the bank.

What's your point?
That's not BG's fascination, its not money even though he's got a butt-ton
of it. Buy his latest OS and install it on your PC and he'll be happy.
That's why I like him. Keep wondering, Borg corporate thought grasshopper.

As you don't reference what you're talking about in your post, you won't get
too much sympathy.....

Yes, I realized after I sent the post that I neglected to include the
quote, but it was too late. So here goes:

About as high as my foot print, that's how. Though he seems like a prime
candidate for identity theft, only bummer is, would you introduce yourself
as Sir. B. Gates? In any circumsatnce? Unless you were meeting Carey,
Jupiter or Bruce and needed a thorough butt cleaning.

If you're jealous then work 20 hours/day and start a company of your
own.
