World's Top Ten Richest Person in Tech Field..
[1] Carlos Slim Helú
Net worth: $67.8 billion
Company: Telmex, América Móvil, Grupo Carso
Now you're sorry you gave all that money to charity, eh Bill? Being number two kinda sucks, but don't worry, Microsoft's long term online strategy will...oh, wait. In any case, Bill Gates has been numero uno for so long we were kinda used to him in this spot.
Oracle? Bo-ring. Ellison has been able to lurk near the top 10 overall for quite some time now, and although he's slowly slipping the ranks (at one point in time in 2000, he was the richest man in the world), he's still doing really, really well. Well, what can you do: databases are always in .
When you count all the problems that Dell (the company) had, it's a wonder that it still manages to be the number one hardware company in the world (or, if you ask HP, the number two company).
[1] Carlos Slim HelúNet worth: $67.8 billion
Company: Telmex, América Móvil, Grupo Carso
The fact that Carlos Slim may not be as known worldwide as some other people on this list doesn't mean he doesn't pack 67.8 billion dollars. Add Rupert Murdoch's wealth to that of Bill Gates and they still barely overtake Carlos, and that says a lot.
[2] William H. Gates III
Net Worth: $59.2 billion
Company: Microsoft

[3] Lawrence Ellison
Net Worth: $21.5 billion
Company: Oracle

[4] Paul Allen
Net Worth: $18.0 billion
Company: Microsoft
There was a time when Paul and Bill were both in the overall top 10 list of billionaires, but this was a long, long time ago. Now, Paul is at the 19th place overall and only fourth in IT, with the Google guys breathing down his neck. His ties with Microsoft aren't so strong, and he sold some 68 million shares of the company, which left him with a meager sum of 138 million shares. He likes to invest in anything and anyone: real estate, sports, even space programs.
[5] & [6] Sergey Brin & Larry Page billion (each)
Net Worth: $16.6
Company: Google
We've put these two rascals together because their huge wallets are the exact same size. Combine their wealth, and they jump to number 3; I hope you guys realize why it's bad to have a co-founder? If you must have one, at least stab them in the back and get rid of 'em before you get wealthy, so you don't have to share. But, we digress.
[7] Michael Dell
Company: Dell
When you count all the problems that Dell (the company) had, it's a wonder that it still manages to be the number one hardware company in the world (or, if you ask HP, the number two company).
[8] Steven Ballmer
Net Worth: $15.0 billion
Company: Microsoft
Developers developers developers! Laugh all you like (heck, take a look at that dancing video on YouTube again if you must), but he's got 15 billion dollars, and you have to choose between the iPhone and food for a month.
Net Worth: $10.0 billion
Company: Orascom Telecom Holding
Naguib Sawiris is the chairman and CEO of Egypt's Orascom Telecom, a multinational GSM mobile phone operating in the emerging markets of Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. As a good indicator of just how fast these markets grow, just look at Naguib's last year position on Forbes' list: 278.
Net Worth: $9.5 billion
Company: Bharti Telecom
More proof that if you want to be a multi-billionaire, the telecoms industry is where it's at. Sunil Mittal is the chairman and managing director of Bharti group, which runs India's largest GSM mobile phone service. Although Sunil has nearly $9.5 billion dollars, he's only the 6th richest Indian in the world.
