Despite the riches that Gates has, by comparison, he has nowhere near the level of raw wealth that Carnegie, Mellon, or Rockafeller had in their day.
I don't remember the exact figures, but I remember a white paper on it when I worked at The Vanguard Group (huge mutual fund co). Using rough figures and 1998 dollars: Gates ~ $50 billion Rockafeller ~ $320 billion in equivalent money! (maybe it was trillion, can't quite remember but it was staggering) [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]
