Quote from Gates on why Buffett passed him on the list:
Quote:
Since both Warren and I have committed the bulk of our wealth to charity, we probably don't belong on the list at all. However, I couldn't be happier to cede this position to Warren. This weekend when we played golf he saved money by not buying a golf glove and using Band-Aids instead. It didn't work too well but he saved a few bucks. I suppose that was the key here rather than the increase in Berkshire's stock price. When we play this weekend I may have to try playing even without Band-Aids to get an edge on him.
