The Mail discovers where the Forbes' rich list billionaires spend their
holidays, and Croatia is among preferred places
Ever wondered where do the rich go for holidays? Well, their choice of
holiday destinations may surprise you. The Mail discoveres where the
Forbes' rich list billionaires spend their spare time. Bill Gates, once
the world's richest man, prefers Croatia.

Bill Gates, Microsoft owner and second-richest man in the world is a
regular visitor to Croatia for holidays. After his first visit in 2004,
he has been coming there on numerous occasions. Prefering quiet places
for vacation he likes to stay with his family in a small town of Skradin
in central Dalmatia, about 17 kilometres from Sibenik, just north of Split.

Skradin has fewer than 4,000 residents and it is a quiet and privat
place which is certainly one of the reasons why Gates choses it. It is
situated at the entrance to the Krka National Park where visitors can
see ruined fortresses, waterfalls and a 15th century monastery on
Visovac Island.
To show his appreciation for privacy of this hideaway, Gates recently
donated money to a charity clearing landmines left over from the
Croatia's 1991-95 war for independence.
