REDMOND, Washington (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates on Wednesday said he wished he were not the world's richest man.

"I wish I wasn't. There is nothing good that comes out of that," said Gates, whose personal fortune has sunk by billions since last week when the software giant disappointed investors by saying new investments would crimp earnings.

The corporate leader who made Microsoft into the world's largest software maker -- and who is also one of the biggest philanthropists -- is seen as a man who does not like publicity. He explained that he did not like the attention of being the world's richest.

"You get more visibility as a result of it," he said during an interview conducted by CNBC reporter Donny Deutsch in front of a crowd of people attending a Microsoft advertising event.

The Microsoft co-founder said that the person he learnt most from in the world, aside from technology colleagues, was fellow-billionaire and legendary investor Warren Buffett.

"He has this very refreshing, simple way of looking at things so I put him top of the list," said Gates, adding that the top lesson from Buffett was the importance of integrity.

Still, Gates joked about his plight being unequalled in wealth. Asked if he surrounded himself with financial peers, he quipped, "No, I sit alone."

Poor guy. I feel so bad for him. Yeah right. If he doesn't like it so much, why doesn't he share the wealth. I know I wouldn't mind taking some of it off his hands. :D

agreed :thumbs:

Me too. Let's all band together and help ole bill out a bit. I think I could handle up to 15,000,000.00. Not much relative to what kind of an issue he's got on his hands but it's a start. :P

Think he would change his mind if he met the world's poorest man?

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
