BILL GATES REGAINS THE NAME "WORLD'S RICHEST MAN" (72.7 BILLION)

             Bill Gates is back on top of the world again. Or at least on top of the list of the world's richest people, where your net worth has to be well above $55 billion to be in the club.

             Gates is co-founder of tech giant MIcrosoft, based in Redmond, Wash. He regained the title after Microsoft shares, up 28% so far this year, closed at a five-year high Thursday for the second time this week.
             Gates has donated $28 billion of his fortune to the 14-year-old Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which he and his wife and fellow billionaire Warren Buffett operate as one of the world's wealthiest philanthropic organizations.
