BOSTON—Take this with you: "Just how rich is Bill Gates? According to Forbes, he's the world's richest person and is worth $77.5 billion. But that kind of wealth is hard to wrap your head around, so let's put it another way: Gates could buy every single home in the entire city of Boston. That's 114,212 single-family homes, condos and townhouses, at a total purchase price of $76.6 billion." [Redfin]
