Is bill gates the richest man in US?

He still is the richest man in the U.S and arguably the world at $52.3 billion a year. If he were to be paid by the hour, and he dropped a thousand dollar bill (if there was such a thing), and stopped working to pick it up, he would actually lose money. This is because he is paid more than a thousand dollars per three seconds!
