They will be worth that on paper, not in hard cash.

Quite , and i have mentioned companies and property - so what else ?
Stocks, shares, bonds, pensions, policies, art.

Something like that.
Much of Bill Gates worth is held in Microsoft shares and I assume he has many of them.

I doubt if he is allowed to sell them (at least not all of them) as this would send a bad message to the markets. He can probably only sell so many a year.

If Microsoft went bust tomorrow and his shares became worth nothing his personal wealth would drop alarmingly.
some of the stuff he owns is quite expensive, bet he owns a couple of satelites and the odd jet, maybe a few streets and possibly an island or 2, it all ads up i guess.
I heard it rumoured that they have most of their dosh in the Nicosia branch of the Bank of Cyprus. :)
