Masayoshi Son is the CEO of Softbank, the company that will rule the world (I think). Ethnic Korean from Japan; graduated some US university. Softbank's stock is down now, so perhaps M. Son has temporarily yielded the crown back to $ill gates, but he is definitely up there. Also, I think there is some 30-something Japanese exec worth like $25billion or so. As for Buffet, last I recall he had 485,000 shares of BRK.A, now valued at about 45K apiece, making him worth, well you do the math. Actually, I shouldn't have shot my mouth off about Ballmer and Allen (those were the other two I meant besides Gates), but I think they're up there. Also, probably some others.

WOW!...people here who are savy enough to have bought QCOM many moons ago but not knowledgeable about Sato Son and Softbank??!!...this guy and his empire of some 300 GLOBAL net companies will make MSFT and CMGI look puny 5 yrs from now....these guys own a chunk of YHOO, EGRP, etc, etc and have an actionable plan for owning the net on a global level...p.s. he will not be richer than Bill until SFTBF hits 200,000 Yen...got very close just days ago, but some retracement over this past week...if you think you're a net or tech investor and not involved in either Far East or the likes of GLOBAL org like Softbank, you will be missing a serious piece of the action in the next couple.
