Default The World's Richest Man.... no, it's not Bill Gates!

So you thought the world's richest man was Bill Gates? Well, maybe most of the time.... but sometimes someone else nudges him aside....

Thanks Rick for that wonderful post! We can learn a lot from masters like Charles Prosper. :)

Rick, I'm glad that you posted.... Did you notice that I mentioned you in the story of my trip to visit Gordon? I hope that's okay. :) We had some pretty interesting discussions there at the Cuyahoga Falls Sheraton!

As I recall, you had some pretty interesting stories to tell.... :)

Here's a news story I recently came across.....
When Norwegian Ole Andresen, 29, checked his account via the Internet, he found a 9,999,999,973,885.24 kroner (US$1,123,999,997,065) bank error in his favor. It made him - briefly - the world's richest man.


It seems that -- for a brief time -- Bill Gates was nudged aside by Ole Andresen, who was the world's first trillionaire!

And it was thanks to the internet! (Internet banking errors, to be precise.) :)

Thank you Rick for pointing out some other ways of making money online -- which may help us to hang on to our money a bit longer than Ole Andresen did. :)

Cheers :)
