I don't know what criteria were used. He has been the richest man in the world for some time now, according to Forbes. That doesn't make him the best CEO, for sure.

When I lived in Juneau, Gates and Paul Allen rented a cruise ship and invited all their friends on a cruise to Alaska. They stopped at Juneau. I hope they spent a lot of money.

I don't particularly admire Bill Gates, but he does have some things going for him.

I can't imagine what one would do with that much money. I don't think he can give it away fast enough.

Bill has built a great company. He made a lot of people millionaires. There are more people indebted to him with money than there are who hate him that have money.

That makes him powerful. Powerful is great. <g>
