Since Myspace.com launched in January of 2004 Social Media Websites have been sprouting up left and right. Since the Social Media Craze had set in we have seen some truly amazing statistics from these websites that no one could have ever imagined when the internet was born. Facebook recently passed 400 million members, Youtube has over a billion video views a day and Twitter just also recently passed 10 Billion tweets.
There is no doubt that the Social Media Market has opened up a new way to reach a whole new audience. Over the years we have seen many companies jump into this Social Wave. In this blog we are discussing the Top Five Richest Americans and the way they and their companies utilize social media.
1. William "Bill" Gates III
Net Worth - $50,000,000

Bill Gates
Bill Gates definitely is on top of the social media game, considering he has been one of the most well know people in the history of the personalized computer. Some of his posts relate to new Microsoft Products, Software, Specials ect. as well as personal information about himself. He is extremely consistent in posting links articles and more.

2. Warren Buffett
Net Worth - $40,000,000
Financial Source - Berkshire Hathaway
Age - 79
Warren Buffett happens to be on three of the social networking sites we are focussing on, amazing for a 79 year old man. I can't imagine Warren Buffett sitting at a computer Tweeting which makes sense since he only has one Tweet. The astonishing thing is that he has 29,525 Followers with just that one Tweet as well as being listed 894 times.

No personal youtube channel but there are plenty of videos of him on there.
3. Lawrence Ellison
Net Worth - $27,000,000
Financial Source - Oracle
Age - 65
Lawrence Ellison is our least active user of social media on our list. He does have a Facebook page but it does not seem like it has been updated since Feburary 19th. Given the business he is in it makes sense that he does not spend much time riding the Social Wave.
4. Christy Walton & Family
Net Worth - $21,500,000
Financial Source - Wal-Mart
Age - 54
Walmart may be one of the most explosive companies on the World Wide Web. Spreading across all sorts of platforms. They have a full team of social media agents, numerous accounts, and massive amounts of content be pushed constantly to a giant audience.
