Gates Is Richer Than God, Again

For the 15th year in a row, Bill Gates has topped the list of wealthiest Americans. While the rest of us are worrying about our debit cards working at WaMu, the Microsoft founder, valued at $59 billion, can afford to pay Jerry Seinfeld to hang out with him. Warren Buffett, always the bridesmaid and never the bride, came in second again. We're pretty sure being worth $50 billion is consolation enough.
