19 years and still counting...that what Bill Gates accomplished today as he once again tops Forbes 2012 list of America's richest 400 billioniars...interesting! One other thing that caught my attention in this report is the fact that Mack Zuckerberg was the biggest dollar loser thanks to his company's lackluster IPO huge drop in market value way back in May that cut the value of his shareholdings almost in half, costing him $8.1 billion in net worth resulted in a that . That dropped Zuckerberg from No. 14 on the list to No. 36.
