He has unrealized profit of being the richest... that is not the same. When he sells all his shares at current asking price, THEN he will be richest person in the world. I could easily be the richest person in the world on my paper account. Does not make it so unless it is live. It sux being him in a way, because he has all that wealth locked up in the shares. If he wants to sell ALL of his holdings, other investors will see that and think he is dumping the stock on some insider news. That would cause others to want to sell based on speculation, which further sinks the stock price, which pisses off stockholders, which causes analysts to downgrade stock, which leads to further sell-offs.
So now the share price is plummeting just because he wants to cash out.
When he finally dumps all of his shares, he won't be the richest man on paper anymore, but will surely have a ton of cash to play with.
I wonder if he still has to pay the $100 per year or whatever it is for Prime?
If he sees a penny in the street does he pick it up, or does he use rolls of $100 bills for kindling?
These guys are so over the top, as are the reporters of these stories.
