| William Gates III | 1 |
 Track This Person Source: Microsoft Net Worth: $46.5 bil  Country of citizenship: United States Residence: Medina, WA, United States Industry: Software Marital Status: married , 3 children Harvard University, Drop Out Gates was given honorary knighthood in March, but don't call him Sir William: the title is only good for citizens of the Commonwealth. He is staying plenty busy pressing Microsoft beyond PCs into television set-top boxes, games, cell phones. "Software is where the action is," Gates proclaimed to company researchers last August. Competition from rival open source operating system, Linux, is stalling Microsoft's growth in the server market, but desktop dominance remains intact: Windows installed in 94% of PCs being sold. Next version, Longhorn, should be ready in 2006. Microsoft, meanwhile, is pursuing online music, photos and search software. Gates is methodically diversifying his wealth: He sells 20 million shares each quarter, reinvests through Cascade Investment in nontech companies, including big stakes in Cox Communications, Canadian National Railway, Republic Services. World's biggest philanthropist also devoting $27 billion to good deeds. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation fights infectious diseases (hepatitis B, AIDS), funds vaccine development, helps high schools. |
| 威廉·盖茨 三世 ４９岁，自己创业 资产来源：微软 净资产：４６５亿美元 国藉：美国 居住地：美国华盛顿，Medina区 行业：软件 婚姻状况：已婚，３个孩子 哈佛大学，缀学 盖茨被授予爵士，不过我们不叫他威廉爵士：这个称号只是给联邦的好市民用的。他现在忙于把微软推向更广的领域，电视机顶盒、游戏、手机。“软件在哪都有用”，盖茨八月份对公司内部的开发人员说。来自LINUX这个开源系统的竞争，使得托住了微软在服务器市场的增长，但是在普通桌面电脑的优势依旧存在。卖出的电脑中有９４％的安装windows。下一个版本，“长角”（现在已正式命名为VISTA，马牛注），会在２００６年完工。同时，微软也在在线音乐、照片和搜索软件上下中足了工夫。盖茨有系统地用他的资金进行了多样化的投资，他第个季度拿出两亿美金（He sells 20 million shares each quarter，不知有没有翻译错，马牛注），通过Cascade投资公司投资于非技术性公司，其中包括在Cox通讯公司、加拿大国家铁路、公众服务的很大的一部分投资。这个世界上最大的慈善家也捐出270亿美元用于慈善事业。比尔＆梅莲达盖茨基金会（梅莲达是盖茨的夫人）帮助防治传染病（乙肝（hepatitis B，应该这样译吧，马牛注），爱滋病），资助疫苗的研究，帮助高校的发展。 |
| Warren Buffett | 2 |
Track This Person Source: Berkshire Hathaway Net Worth: $44 bil  Country of citizenship: United States Residence: Omaha, NE, United States Industry: Investments Marital Status: widowed , 3 children University of Nebraska Lincoln, Bachelor of Arts / Science Columbia University, Master of Science Newspaper delivery boy filed first 1040 at age 13; claimed $35 deduction for bicycle. Studied under Benjamin Graham at Columbia. Applied value-investing principles to build Berkshire Hathaway to $133 billion (market cap) holding company: insurance, energy, carpets, jewelry, furniture, paint (Benjamin Moore), apparel (Fruit of the Loom). Also big stakes in American Express, Coca-Cola, Gillette (now set to merge with Procter & Gamble). Admits Berkshire's $30 billion-plus cash hoard is underutilized: "It's a painful condition to be in, but not as painful as doing something stupid—[Vice Chairman] Charlie [Munger] and I detest taking even small risks." Recent bets include Pier One Imports, Comcast, food distributor McLane. Bought mobile-home maker Clayton Homes after reading autobiography by company founder. "If we fail, we will have no excuses." Since taking control of Berkshire has delivered compound annual return of 24%. Outspoken opponent of Bush tax cuts, courted as adviser to pols Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Kerry. Critic of lax corporate governance, became target of failed campaign to vote him off Coca-Cola board. Fanatical supporters still far outnumber critics: Berkshire's folksy annual meeting crowds routinely top 15,000. |
