Forbes lists Billionaires

Forbes released the list of the worlds billionaires today. It’s only 746 people long. Of course Bill Gates tops the list once again at 50 billion but he’s getting a little pressure from Warren Buffet. Another odd bit I noticed are numbers 17, 19, 20, and 21. Notice anything similar about those? Yep, they are all heirs to the Walmart fortune. Another odd note that was pointed out to me by Brady is the fact that Bill Gates is the most giving person in the US while Warren Buffet does not give any of his money to charity. I’m not sure what it is that he’s saving for.

Imagine how many people that could be made comfortable if either of these guys just gave one million away at $100,000 to each person. I could be completely debt free and begin making some money. Imagine…

    I think Buffet is hoping if he saves his money he’ll one day beat Gates to the number 1 spot! :) The Wal-Mart heirs are ridiculously rich.

    I am a 27 year old single mother of 2 beautiful kids and I really want to venture out and start my own business that may some day become a corporation. My only problem is that I don’t have the funds to get started. I know that this business idea is a good one because I have ran it by some other business people here in Springfield, MO. Like me they don’t have the funds to help back me up in my venture. My divorce has put a strain on my credit and my finances so what I am asking is if there is anyone I could contact or any one who can contact me in helping me get my business up and running I would be very grateful. I would even be willing to share some of the profits or go into business with someone and do all the work if they have the finances to back me up along the way. Thank you for your time and God bless!
    Sincerely,
    Leslie E.
