Race For Title Of World's Richest ManAccording to Forbes Warren Buffett is now the richest man on the planet.

Riding the surging price of Berkshire Hathaway (nyse: BRK – news – people ) stock, America’s most beloved investor has seen his fortune swell to an estimated $62 billion, up $10 billion from a year ago. That massive pile of scratch puts him ahead of Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT – news – people ) co-founder Bill Gates, who was the richest man in the world for 13 straight years.

Gates is now worth $58 billion and is ranked third in the world. He is up $2 billion from a year ago, but would have been perhaps as rich–or richer–than Buffett had Microsoft not made an unsolicited bid for Yahoo! (nasdaq: YHOO – news – people ) at the beginning of February.

If you saw Bill’s retirement movie I think he’s not worried about it.

Enjoy your retirement Bill you earned it. Being number two in the race for the worlds richest man isn’t too bad.
