Bill Gates loses his place as the world's richest man
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,August 30 2017]
For many a year Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, has held on to his position as the world's richest man with his current net worth standing at 84.8 billion USD. He has lost his pedestal for the second time to Amancio Ortega the Spanish clothing brand Zara's co-founder who has just clocked 85 billion in net worth.
Ortega had already surpassed Gates earlier in 2015 but could only enjoy the glory for a day and it is unknown how the seesaw will tilt this time as he is only slightly ahead of the information technology giant.
