Gates owns about 481 million shares of Microsoft, about 6 percent of the company. Since the software firm's initial public offering in 1986, Gates has sold almost $28 billion in stock and collected about $7 billion in dividends (excluding a $3.3 billion payout in 2004, which he donated to his foundation ). Most of the proceeds have been plowed into Cascade Investment, Gates's personal investments vehicle. Cascade owns stakes in almost two dozen public companies, including AutoNation, Canadian National Railway and Strategic Hotels & Resorts. Gates also owns investments in many other private businesses through Cascade , including real estate (Four Seasons Hotels), photography (Corbis Images) and energy (Sapphire Energy). Based on private company valuations and an analysis of his cash inflows and outflows, Gates's closely held assets probably exceed $30 billion.

Bloomberg. The below is for Warren Buffett. The majority of Buffett's fortune stems from his ownership in Berkshire Hathaway, 350,000 Class A shares and 26.2 million shares of Class B stock. He has 23 percent economic interest in the company. Buffett donates about 5 percent of his Berkshire stock to charity each summer, much of it to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In addition to his Berkshire stake, Buffett oversees an outside portfolio worth an estimated $500 million to $1 billion. In 2010, he reported adjusted gross income of $62.9 million, paying 17 percent in federal income taxes after deducting about $23 million for charitable gifts and local taxes. A 6 percent return in 2010 would imply Buffett has an outside portfolio of about $1 billion. A 13 percent return on the portfolio would imply his outside holdings are closer to $500 million. Given Buffett's life-long penchant for stocks over bonds, he likely earned a return similar to the S&P 500 (12.8 percent), inferring his outside portfolio is in the $500 million range.
