How many years has Bill Gates been the richest man in the world? Why do I ask? Because he's not anymore. Ingvar Kamprad, founder of the IKEA furniture chain, has about six billion dollars more than Bill Gates.

Maybe I'm a silly person, but I'm pretty sure that kind of wealth hits the point where the only point to having more is to say you have more. Give me a million dollars and I'll probably spend it in my lifetime getting myself set. Give me two million dollars and I'll do my best to have myself and any kids and family I may ever have be set for life. I could probably do it with one million. I know I could do it with two million. But I'm sure my line is destined to work.

That's okay, jobs build character!
