Bill Gates Efforts Admired By Forbes, Named Among The Most Powerful Men Of World

After people like Rupert Murdoch, Hillary Clinton and Steve Jobs, now Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, has been named among one of the 10th most powerful men in the world

He, who stepped down from his practical role at Microsoft, just to give more time on the selfless charity organization of his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is now praised by Forbes Magazine. He was specifically admired for his role as persuasive individual who made 40 of the world’s most influential and richest people to promise the majority of their wealth to charities and good causes.

Despite, Steve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, is recognized by Forbes for his “insanity” in creativity and ability to “transform multi-billion dollar industry every few years.” He is also popular after his latest must-have devices, such as the iPhone and iPad. Still, Bill Gates is now ranked seven places higher in the Forbes list. However, even after, the rapidly increasing popularity of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, the ‘accidental billionaire’ as they say, is ranked 18 places lower, at 40 on the Forbes Powerful People List for 2010.
