We have all grown to know Mr. Bill Gates. He is America’s richest man for 16 years in a row! His estimated worth is 50 Billion dollars! Now try counting all of those bills. But in all seriousness, since 2008, the economy has affected the whole human race. It has forced thousands of companies into bankruptcy and millions of families to sell their homes. But has it really affected Forbes top 400 richest men in America?

Studies show that hundreds of nations have lost a substantial amount of net value since 2008. With the European crisis, a few countries filed for bankruptcy.

Here’s some food for thought, Bill Gates is worth more than 140 nations! Now that’s something impressive! Knowing that one single human being can be richer than more than half of the world’s countries is intriguing. Next time you wake up in the morning, you now know that Bill Gates is worth more than 140 nations around the world!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

The housing market in the Ottawa Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) will moderate in 2013 with home prices staying in positive territory, according to Sandra Pérez Torres, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) Senior Market Analyst for Ottawa. CMHC presented its latest forecast for the Ottawa CMA today at the annual CMHC Housing Outlook Conference.

"Despite public sector reductions, Ottawa's economy will remain stable. However, uncertainty will keep some potential homebuyers on the sidelines in 2013," said Sandra Pérez Torres. "As global and local uncertainty starts subsiding and improving labour conditions spill over in the Ottawa region, both the new and resale home market will resume a stronger rate of growth."
