err? how is that? he already owns the stocks, if he were to sell them @ $32 a share he would get his $1.08bil anyway... its not that he is getting more money, its just thats where he has a chunk of his money...
anywho billgates is actually pretty cash poor compared to others, just has assloads of assets in stocks bonds etc etc, but he would probably loose money were he to liquidate his assets in a hurry etc
im all up for bill bashing but this article is pretty pointless imo, its just saying that billy owns a large portion of COX, so? who cares? he owns a large portion in a nuclear shipyard? and loads of other organizations like every other rich person out there... no rich person is stupid enough to leave most of their assets as cash, dosent make you any money |

| Just because he is getting a check for1.08 billion dollars doesn't mean he is made any money. No where does it say what he paid for the stock. Could be he lost money. Really don't see the point of this article, except to feed the Bill bashers. What they need to remember though is that Bill Gates is one of the largest philanthropist in this country, giving away billions of dollars.
