50 Wealthiest People in The World

Very cool inforgraphic, thank you!

Number 35 is incorrect!!!

Susanne Klatten is German and it’s not from pharmaceuticals (it’s from investments, e.g. BMW with about 12,5% of all stock)

So the Fererros made $9.5 billion from chocolate. Mmm, my kinda people….

Susanne Klatten (nr. 35) is most assuredly a German resident (and part of her money comes from owning 12.5% of BMW), not from the USA. Cheers and keep up the good work!

I hope and wish them success will follow at a later

As I read this, it only again reminds me of why life sucks for most of us working poor taxpaying suckers…..

Wow what a list!

great infograph. planning to link to it on my blog.

No one is worth this kind of money they should be in a 90% tax bracket

hello

Actually Dennis, this is exactly what these people are worth, considering it is a “net worth” graphic, and it’s wonderful to see what people with vision and skill can create. I wonder how many jobs these people create for the world? Many. Not only do they employ people in their organizations – Jack Taylor employs 40,000 people alone, The Waltons many more than that. They also spend money which creates even more jobs.

Additionally, many of these people make the world a better place. How much wealth has Bill Gates created for people? Untold billions.

Dennis, while most of us are satisfied with equality of opportunity, you apparently would like equality in result. That will never happen, nor should it. We didn’t all get the same grades in school. Not everybody won first place in a sporting competition, and we certainly will never all make the same money. If you want to see the devastating effects of taking from the rich and giving to the poor, see USSR in the mid-20th century.

to ‘dealer’ you are so right. we can all go out and make our own cash as they did. Its called freedom in the usa.
