They already have 7.2 billion- Larry Page, Sergey Brin- and is it just going to keep growing exponentially or has it levelled out? It was like, their fortunes went from 500 million each to 7.2 billion in like a year, and what is it now?

I hope it goes up until they pass Gates at 46.5, and Sam Walton’s old fortune at 90 billion- that would be sweet…
