Well... we're all forgetting that the two current richest families are total unknowns. Billy boy does not compare to ANYONE in the M&M mars family. Period. Their names are not even public knowledge. They never, not ever in their lives have had to worry about "how much something costs". They will never have to worry about their stock options(chocolate always sells itself). Now, Bill's kids can look forward to outdoing everyone on the planet, maybe. It's all about hype anyway, not money. The hype that TFM and other Star Wars movies has recieved is adequite, but eventually it is a fading memory (in about 100 years or so noone will know much about them other than they were technological masterpeices of an ancient era). Bill at least has a chance that some COBOL code will reference Windows in the distant future (because lets face it, COBOL will just not die - damn shame... :)
