Microsoft founder Bill Gates could become the first dollar trillionaire in 25 years, according to Oxfam, an international network of organizations collectively working to tackle global poverty.
Given the exponential growth of his wealth Gates would have earned his first $1 trillion by the time he is 86 in 2042.
When Bill Gates left Microsoft in 2006, his was worth $50 billion. In the next decade his wealth has increased to $75 billion, "despite his commendable attempts to give it away through his Foundation," the report said, as quoted by CNBC.
“In such an environment, if you are already rich, you have to try hard not to keep getting a lot richer,” Oxfam noted.
The organization recently published a report claiming the eight wealthiest billionaires (Gates, investor Warren Buffett, Inditex founder Amancio Ortega, Mexico's Carlos Slim, Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle's Larry Ellison and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg) have as much money as the 3.6 billion people who make up the poorest half of the world's population.

Jim and Ron Watkins are trying to be like Bill Gates, they took infinity's source code and copyrighted their derivative for "N.T. Technology, Inc" while pretending to maintain a transparent and open source site when it's not.

Clearly it is God's will that we pursue riches. "Give unto Cesar what is Cesar's" and whatnot. Therefore, we must assume that it is right to become "Cesar", for God would not instruct his followers to give to someone what is not rightfully his own.

Once you have like ~$15 billion you are going to just make money off of money, there are already trillionaires and technically the House of Saud is worth a trillion collectively

Who do you think are good candidates for secret trillionaires status? Do you think every great power (or at least the superpowers) in the world today has them?
