It's a momentous day here on the planet that Microsoft lets us call earth. For the first time since 1994, Chairman William H. Gates III is no longer the richest biped on the planet. In the race to see who can die with the most money, Gates has fallen behind Mexican mobile maven Carlos Slim, whose holdings in wireless company America Movil top out at $67 billion -- a solid $8 billion ahead of Sir Bill. For someon It’s a momentous day here on the planet that Microsoft lets us call earth. For the first time since 1994, Chairman William H. Gates III is no longer the richest biped on the planet. In the race to see who can die with the most money, Gates has fallen behind Mexican mobile maven Carlos Slim, whose holdings in wireless company America Movil top out at $67 billion — a solid $8 billion ahead of Sir Bill. For someone as competitive as Gates, losing at anything hurts. But to fall behind someone who sounds like a character out of a Carl Hiaasen novel must be especially galling. (At least it wasn’t Larry Ellison.) But there is hope in Gatesville. When the Chinese version of Self magazine asked women in 15 Chinese cities whose baby they’d most like to have, Gates was (once again) number two. (FYI, Hong Kong film star Andy Lau – China’s Brad Pitt — was the number one pick. Brad Pitt — America’s Andy Lau – landed at number ten.) So it’s simple. Say 200 million Chinese women pony up $60 a pop for a sample of Bill’s essence. That’s $12 billion right there — enough to slip past Slim and still keep a $4 billion cushion. As an added bonus, we’ll get an entire generation of nerdy Chinese-American entrepreneurs out of the deal. Now that Gates is Number Two, will he try harder?
