Most people probably dream of being the world's richest person -- except, perhaps, the man himself.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates told an online advertising conference Wednesday that he'd prefer not to be the richest person in the world.

"I wish I wasn't," he said in a session in which he was being interviewed by Donny Deutsch, the host of an interview show on CNBC television.

Gates is ranked by Forbes magazine as the world's richest individual, with an estimated wealth of about $50 billion (euro39.61 billion).
