After being on top of the rank for 15 years, Bill Gates is no longer the richest man of the United States.
According to Forbes, an American economic magazine, the new richest American is Warren Buffet, the legendary investor.
Forbes claims that, despite the financial crisis, Buffet earned 8 billion dollars during September, which puts his total assets at 58 billion dollars, Gates on the other hand lost 1.5 billion and has 57 billion dollars.
Bill Gates is not the only American with a big loss, 17 other billionaires lost considerable amounts of money due to the financial crisis.
