Bill gates and Warren Buffet would have been higher on that list if they had not been so busy giving away their wealth.

It proves that true wealth is created through Sheer hardwork.


Corrupt African leaders who have stolen Billions of their populace dont feature anywhere near the top.

also of note is the age of the self made billionaires..

unless you have re-invented a wheel,a powerful search engine or simply solved what x is...you can only have inherited it from a self made patriach/matriach. the otherwise, sadly, is acquiring the Roman Abrahmovich way... but still u will not be Bill rich...

point: True wealth comes with not only hard work but TIME as well..

Interesting that in 7 years Bezos has jumped from #43 to #2 in the wealth list

Yaani the richest man in UK is Indian?! Who would have ever thought?
Anyway I'm sure Vimal should be somewhere at the top in Kenya too.

But I'm doubting this list because I know Jeff Bezos should be in the top 5.

BBI will solve it :)

Now World Richest



Forbes wrote:
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has overtaken Bill Gates and is now the richest person in the world, with a fortune topping $90 billion for the first time ever.

When markets opened on Thursday, Bezos had a net worth of $90.6 billion, putting him $500 million ahead of Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Amazon stock opened up 1.6% on Thursday, adding $1.4 billion to Bezos’ net worth. That was enough to put him ahead of Gates, who was last surpassed on Forbes’ real-time rankings for just two days nearly a year ago by Spanish retail giant Amancio Ortega.

They should start another list of people with the most cash to spend and this list will just be full of Arab princes. They do not know how much they are worth because it is all in the ground and in any case it is listed as belonging to a country but they have full access and they just pump it out and get cash to spend.

Nice point. Reminds me of that question posed here in wazua about how rich rural farmers and pastoralists are
