Forbes: world's billionaire capital

No, they're actually americans.
By the way, since it seems absurdly easy for any russian to be absurdly wealthy, and that you are probably russian and not dumber than the average russian, how rich are you ?

 

What? How does this have any sound backing at all.

 

I thought it was the politicians!

 

dude.. You so rich yeah.. HAHAHA.. economics 101.. sometimes.. u shld know who u are talking to.. before.. trying to educate them.. Peace

 

Yeah--how humiliating

 

if only the older Ambani was alive, I think he would have been number 1.
. .And if Mukesh actually did not build his 1 billion dollar home in mumbai.. he would be worth 64.5 billion.

For a 2nd generation, i think they did really well, and so did Mittal

 

That's a cop-out isn't it? If you choose to remain anonymous, then the only basis for judgment is the information or knowledge you bring to the discussion. Claiming you're someone who knows something doesn't prove anything.

I've been noticing your posts a lot lately....OK WE GET IT. YOU LOVE RUSSIA. Almost all of the posts I've read involve you trying to incite a reaction by spewing your Russia is the greatest cr#p. Come on. Enough is enough.

Thanks.

 

Well said buddy !

 

That's not very safe....

 

what i love about threads like this is that everyone gets on the pile on of money as being associated with rich, or wealth.

Rich and wealth will do nothing for you if you die young, have an incurable sickness.....i couldnt imagine being worth 3B and on my death bed thinking what would happen to my fortune left behind, you just know the pool boy is gonna bang your 24 yr old squeeze.

I think we should all re evalute life and find true happiness, the stuff 3B cant buy you.

Just a thought !!

But it is nice to have money

 

the more interesting question would be: "Are there any billionaires on F-chat?"

Anyone have a 'yes/no' to that?

 

yes there is

 

Wow that's interesting. I'd think someone with that kinda money wouldn't have time for the internet I gotta stop assuming...

 

Ok these threads are really tiring. If everybody would start posting about their own country... it would be boring. Russia has made HUGE progress in 10 years, that doesn't mean there is not much work left or that many people care how many Ferraris are in Moscow. Heck, there are TONS in Montreal and Switzerland too has many, many nice cars. I don't make a thread about it. There are still WAY more poor people in Russia then rich.

 

Ok, what a bunch of crap. Just give it up already, nobody cares. It's nothing different to London or... a little town where I live. You also have a restaurant where you can spend 20K and some nice cars around.

 

$20k is nothing. New York has strip clubs where you can spend $240k in a night (and then get sued because you won't pay the bill)...

I agree that all the country-specific stuff is crap.

 

241k at a strip club is an accomplishment, probs to the guys.

 

didn't read the whole thread so sorry if this was covered. Forbes has no idea how many billionaires there are so their statistics are worthless.

 

Forbes always splits up the Walton siblings, yet their stock, equally split among them, is voted as a bloc and effectively controls Walmart.
The Waltons ARE the richest family on the planet with a family net worth over $100 billion, and thats just the Walmart stock. Their private holdings are still unknown to the world at large (and Forbes)

 

I was reading a newspaper, the Republic I think, the other day and it was listing the 10 most expensive homes in the Valley. #2 on the list was a $15,000,000ish home owned by one of the Waltons. It was actually owned by an LLC that he started on the side. Sure perked my interest
