Uncle Steve keeps raking it in
Forbes magazine has released its annual Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans and our favorite CEO is #56 with an estimated worth of $5.7 billion. Although Steve Jobs' worth increased around $800m since last year, his ranking actually slipped from #49. I don't think I'll shed a tear, however. Needless to say, Bill Gates remains at number one with a measly $59b.[via MacNN]

@Rhywun : Maybe its not about the sacrifice in the Gate's case, but about the fact that they must've done so much good with that money, and they didn't have to.

I mean, if you do the math that is like $1 out of $1,000... And I would give that away easily!
So, in conclusion, I think Steve Jobs should give me $1,000,000
You'd think with that much money between them, they'd both be better dressed/groomed.
