1. Gates could wipe his ass with 20 million-dollar bills
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 10:32 AM by phantom power
That's not exaggerating by much. Consider: Last I heard, Gates was worth at least 50 billion. Let's allocate just one billion for ass-wiping. Assume that Gates craps once a day (on average), and that he lives to be 100 years old. That's 36500 squats. 1 billion divided by 36500 is a bit more than 27,000.

So, In reality, Gates could wipe his ass with thousand-dollar bills, for the rest of his life, and still have 49 billion left when he died. And that's assuming he never makes any more money.
