From Reuter Bill Gates-US Richest Man Lis Seddon 23 September 2010
Gates stays top of US rich list with $54bn fortune.Mr Gates is a renowned philanthropist as well as the US's richest manMicrosoft co-founder Bill Gates has been named as the wealthiest person in the US for the 17th year in a row.Forbes magazine put his fortune at $54bn (£34.5bn), with investment guru Warren Buffet second with $45bn.Software tycoon Larry Ellison was in third place, while Wal-Mart heir Christy Walton was fourth on Forbes' list of the 400 richest Americans.It took a net worth of at least $1bn to earn a spot in the rankings - up from $950m in 2009.The collective net worth of the 400 billionaires rose by 8% from 2009, totalling $1.37 trillion - approximately the same as the GDP of Spain or Canada.Social network trendThose gaining wealth in the list included Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, whose wealth grew by 245% to $6.4bn, the report said, putting him at 35 in the list.
His fellow co-founder Dustin Moskovitz is the youngest to make the top 400. The 26-year-old is eight days younger than Mr Zuckerberg and one of 16 new entrants to the list, which also includes another Facebook figure, Eduardo Saverin.Another gainer was Manchester United owner Malcolm Glazer and family, while among those losing ground were the family behind confectionery giant Mars.And there were 34 dropping off the list, including real estate mogul Tamir Sapir.The 18 people returning to the list after a period of absence included Sidney Kimmel, at number 365, who made his fortune in the clothes business before producing films including The Kite Runner.The report also found that among the 400 members of the list, 231 had donated to the Democratic Party between 2006 and 2010 - giving a total of $6.2bn. This compared with the 247 people who donated $7.3bn between them to the Republican Party.
Bill Gates was born 28.10.1955 at 10pmPST (+8hrs) Seattle, Washington, 122W20' 47N36'.It is not surprising to see that Uranus, the planet associated with inventions, electronics and technology is conjunct his Cancer Ascendant giving it a powerful position in his chart. It squares his Scorpio Sun and Libran Neptune. This suggests that he is likely to find a way of self-expression (Sun) by relentlessly working (Scorpio) to combine images (Neptune) with technology (Uranus) within a partnership (Libra). The Sun rules the second house of love and money where Jupiter and Pluto, (a sure sign of wealth) can be found square to Saturn and Venus in Scorpio in the 4th House. This I think is an indication of someone whose value system may be tied up with an obsessive drive to generate income because of an inner need to prove that he is able to do so. Perhaps brought about by emotional austerity within the early life.The Moon is conjunct the MC trine Uranus and opposes a Mars/ Mercury conjunction. This combination is indicative of an active mind (Mars/Mercury) that responds impulsively (Moon in Aries) with unique creations (Uranus in Leo).
Not only has he made his mark in the world of technology but also as a philanthropist. He and his wife Melinda have set up The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is dedicated to bringing innovation in health, developement and learning to the global community.
