9. Bill Gates
The problem for Bill Gates isn’t a problem of not knowing how much he has in the bank – he knows he’s one of the richest men in America, but the problem is that he doesn’t know what to do with it, saying that after a certain amount “it’s the same hamburger.” Gates currently holds the title of being the richest man in the world with a net worth of $85.5 billion.
However, Gates has said that “Wealth above a certain level, really, it’s a responsibility that then you’re going have to either, a.) leave it to your children, which may or may not be good for them, or b.) try to be smart about giving it away.” Gates has given away quite a bit of money already and has also started The Giving Pledge along with his wife, which will see that they donate half of their money to charity. He also has plans to eradicate polio by 2019.
