From a web site dated Friday 28 September, 2001 10:06 GMT+10:00 By MATT MOORE, AP Bill Gates is still a multi-billionaire, but not quite as wealthy as he was a year ago. The co-founder and chairman of Microsoft remained the richest person in the world as of August 27, according to the annual survey by Forbes Magazine of the 400 wealthiest Americans. Super investor Warren Buffett moved into second place, followed by the other Microsoft cofounder, Paul Allen. Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison dropped from second to fourth. The rest of the top 10, except for Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer, was a family affair, made up of relatives of deceased Wal-Mart Stores founder Sam Walton. Gates' net worth fell to $US54 billion ($A110.88 billion) this year, down from $US63 billion ($A129.36 billion) last year, largely on the strength of Microsoft's shares. However, the diversity of his portfolio, which includes significant investments beyond Microsoft, kept Gates in the top spot for the eighth straight year. Dec 08 01, 9:18 PM
