The 100 Wealthiest People in the World

JasonKing · 09-04-2008, 04:22 PM

Hey Warriors,

This morning, I received a very insightful email from a wealthy friend. It's a little bit of a game, so I thought I'd share it with you and see what comes up.

Here we go ...

When you click on the following link, you'll find a list of the world's 100 wealthiest people:

Now, answer this question:

What (if anything) do they all have in common?

Look forward to your answers ...

This may be a little obvious, but....

They are all on the Top List of 100 wealthiest people?

jensrsa · 09-04-2008, 04:44 PM

Well, none of them are family, none of them know me and I won't inherit from any of them.

They're all related to Russians!

18% are Russians
82% are non-Russians

All 100 are not me.

What do I win?

Dan C. Rinnert · 09-04-2008, 05:06 PM

Or is it that none of them are from Australia? ;-)

richpeck · 09-04-2008, 05:14 PM

They all built their wealth selling stuff that lots of people (I.E the population of the World) wants / needs....

Sylvia Meier · 09-04-2008, 05:20 PM

I don't know if it is true for all of them, but a large majority give large amounts to charity each year, perhaps the laws of attraction and good karma.

Zach Booker · 09-04-2008, 05:40 PM

They all have desire to succeed...
Something surprisingly not alot of us have enough of.
Sure we want to be rich but who sets out and won't stop until they are? Not alot of us.

Zach

macchiavelli · 09-04-2008, 05:47 PM

All 100 of them probably control 90% of the world fortunes

Thats just the way it is.

I look forward to joining that list

timpears · 09-04-2008, 05:59 PM

I believe the common denominator is that they all built a business from which their wealth emanated from. Mr. Buffett is different in the fact that he didn't create a business like most, his business was buying businesses or the stock of businesses. But even is wealth emanates from his ownership of Berkshire Hathaway who's business is buying up companies and the stock of companies.

So like most folks here, they are all business people growing their company so as to become wealthy. There is a chance for us to do the same. How would it be...

MADMONEY · 09-04-2008, 06:15 PM

hello,

Here's something interesting, four out of the 100 are family members of Sam Walton of Wal-Mart. That's 4% of the list.

Their combined wealth equals $76.6 billion which would make them number one on the list.

Just goes to show you how much money there is in selling cheap, low-quality items.

Madman

MoaddinFM · 09-04-2008, 06:53 PM

Common? hm... They will all have to die and the money will stay here on earth :-P

And as the official answer: well, they were all born as babies with no special abilities and while they growed up they had to develop/buy the skills to get them where they are now.

09-04-2008, 07:25 PM

Define "Wealthy" ..... (in otherwords what does wealthy mean to you)

James

09-04-2008, 07:35 PM

I'd like to share a story with you all. Hopefully you find it interesting...

When I was 19 years old I worked at a barbershop... I used to cut hair. There was a guy named ----- that worked for the secret service. He was one of the guys that would actually travel with and protect Bill Clinton-post presidency.

He was a very tall black guy with salt & pepper hair... what I remember most about him was that he was a big time Raiders fan, which was crazy to me because he wasn't from California. It's rare that people outside of California root for the Raiders, but that's a whole different story.

Anyhow, my friend---who owned the barbershop was his barber. And one day a discussion started about Oprah and how rich she is. I personally hate having discussions about other people and their riches... it makes me feel small time.

So this guy starts talking about how there was a time that he visited one of Oprah's homes while on duty protecting someone that I can't remember.

As he explained his experience at Oprah's house I watched the his face closely. Not only was he in awe of her and her estate. But, the look on his face was a look of inferiority.

He was convinced that Oprah was living a life that he would never be able to have for himself.

I was amazed by this... I am a big thinker. I like many of you, don't believe that there is anything that I can't accomplish. In fact, I've always thought that everyone should have the same outlook as me on this. Maybe that's my arrogance.

Almost finished...

The whole time that this guy was talking, I just listened. I didn't chime in not one time until he made this comment.

I remember him saying verbatim that, "the kind of money that Oprah makes can only be dreamed about by people like us."

When I heard him say that I was enraged. Here I am, almost 20 years old in a barbershop cutting hair for a living. And that comment sent me through the roof.

I thought to myself, how dare he lump me into the same category as him and everyone else like him.

Ever since that day, my life has changed. In a way I'm thankful. This guy was the catalyst for what ended up being a very successful real estate investing career. And now a very successful Internet Marketing career.

I have not, and will not ever forget those words.

I hope that you can find relevance in this reply... hopefully this is not seen as out of place.

But, I can honestly say that this is the first time I've ever told this story.

When the topic of rich people came up, I couldn't resist...

Ever since that day, my financial status has constantly increased. Sure,I've had my ups and downs... who hasn't. But, I always come out on top.

And I never forget that day...

My bitterness may be why I get so passionate about this.

But my point in writing this very long reply, is to communicate that we all have what it takes to be on that list.

We can all be billionaires... we just have to aim high.

Peace...

p.s. If you are wondering what my response to his comment was. Let's just say that it might be a little too inappropriate for me to mention in the forum.

ecoverartist · 09-04-2008, 07:51 PM

Hey Marc,

Maybe that was his mission in life (though he didn't know it...) to inspire you to reach greater heights!

Uhmm..I'd say one thing these folks all have in common is that they have wills which I am, unfortunately, not in

There are women on the list.

As for the Waltons, they only get 4 spots on the list because Sam is gone and his money has been divided. I seriously doubt any of them would have made the list without Sam's money.

Christie Love · 09-04-2008, 08:22 PM

Hmmm, I don't personally know any of them???

I read somewhere that Sams Is the number one if his money is not divided.. A lot more than Microsoft.. Its somewhere around 110 Bil...

Maybe you are right!

And, I'm sure that you will be just fine without being written into their wills.

You are a copywriter. Don't you guys know magic?

At least 9 zeros left of the decimal.

And the fact that while a changing economy may affect their lifestyles, they'll never have to worry about basic survival needs.

Even the bottom of the list has 7 billion more dollars than Donald Trump.

So they are all richer than Donald Trump!

freemnet · 09-04-2008, 09:06 PM

They all have 24 hours.

They all came in the world naked and empty handed.

They all will die (some maybe naked) but all definitely gonna leave empty handed again.

For now they all must have been doing something right !

ildarius · 09-04-2008, 09:20 PM

I liked your story Marc.

As far as the answer, I don't have one, but can we hear it from you already?

Louis Raven · 09-04-2008, 09:37 PM

All above the age of 33!

Now I just to go get some money.

And enemies.

MADMONEY · 09-04-2008, 09:44 PM

I did notice one other similarity. None of them are members of this forum :-).

Or are they?

one of them Carlos Slim Helú, owns the Mexican phone company better known as Taco Bell.

but here's what I don't believe that the wealthiest person in the world is not an Arab sheik!

How is that even possible? Oil is the number-one commodity in the world. Everybody needs it every body buys it and everybody uses it.

My conclusion is, these ain't all the facts folk!

myob · 09-04-2008, 09:45 PM

Without exception, they all follow the principles outlined in this classic:
The Richest Man in Babylon

Louis Raven · 09-04-2008, 09:47 PM

LOL just noticed the richest man IN THE WORLD is advertising car insurance on his homepage.

They must pay at least 97p a click

JeremyL · 09-04-2008, 10:00 PM

1. They're all men - Wrong! Unless Christy, Alice & Abagail have really deep voices
2. They're all over 30. Most over 50 (The two Google gurus in thirties) Average age 61.6407766990291
3. If you take the median average of their assets and multiple this by the standard deviation of the years in business times number of companies this will give you "C'mon already... just tell us!!!"

OK... They all have secretaries or PA's! There you go. What do I win?

Michael Franklin · 09-04-2008, 10:19 PM

The top 100 all used leverage......

Of course, they used it to the nth degree but certainly leverage can take you to new heights!

So ask yourself....How can I apply leverage to everything in my business? Start with your key processes and see how you can multiply your results!

2bwealthy · 09-04-2008, 10:34 PM

they all bought the latest click bank money making program.... pretty soon we will see their screenshots !

rapidscc · 09-04-2008, 11:42 PM

They all know how to laugh, how to get angry and definitely, how to eat and use the bathroom. They have the SAME MIND as ours!

And you know what they don't only have something in common among themselves, they are as common as all of us...Heck..They also pick their noses...

The answers here are very much eye opening, sometimes humorous but mostly enlightening, realizing that these people came-in like us feels like us, struggles like us and will die like us. There are actually no lines dividing them from us..In reality we are the ones making them rich, we buy their products or services right. If there are divisions between us and them they won't get rich, infact the main reason they got to be wealthy is because they learned how to use the connection and similarity in all people by providing products and services.

There are differences though, we may it with ordinary metal spoons, they could have gold!

They could go anywhere and swarns of people would follow them..As for us only our childrens could do that, and sometimes still with necessary motivation.

AndrewCavanagh · 09-04-2008, 11:54 PM

No wait guys I've gone over that list from top to bottom and finally it hit me.

Here it is...wait for it...there'll all...
BILLIONAIRES!!!

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

Got ya!

"... an estimated net worth of around US $62 billion..."

They all put their pants on one leg at a time.

Leigh Burke · 09-05-2008, 12:13 AM

I believe the answer is in the first paragraph....

"The total net worth is an estimate measured in United States dollars, based on the closing stock prices of the stock exchanges on which each person's company is listed..."

They all own stock in companies that they own that are listed companies!

In other words....the list is a list of net worth on paper.

That might explain why Buffet is always so stingy, he doesn't actually have any cash in his wallet!

Alex Sol · 09-05-2008, 12:18 AM

#7 is a client of my friend's

AndrewCavanagh · 09-05-2008, 12:22 AM

First of all Warren Buffett is hardly "stingy" unless you think the money you spend on personal expenses should somehow match your net worth.

But the principle Buffett understood and embraced was compound interest.

He drove an inexpensive car for many years even when he was a multi-millionaire because he'd worked out how much the $40,000 he might spend on a car today would be worth when you compounded it by 30%+ interest a year for 10 years...

$551,433 to be exact and yes Buffet at one time was getting 30%+ annual net worth increase on his investments.

Buffet wasn't too excited about effectively paying half a million dollars for a car so he kept expenses like this low until his net worth was so high it made very little difference.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

My bitterness may be why I get so passionate about this. But my point in writing this very long reply, is to communicate that we all have what it takes to be on that list. We can all be billionaires... we just have to aim high. Peace... p.s. If you are wondering what my response to his comment was. Let's just say that it might be a little too inappropriate for me to mention in the forum.

None of them are members of this forum :-). Or are they? one of them Carlos Slim Helú, owns the Mexican phone company better known as Taco Bell. but here's what I don't believe that the wealthiest person in the world is not an Arab sheik! How is that even possible? Oil is the number-one commodity in the world. Everybody needs it every body buys it and everybody uses it. My conclusion is, these ain't all the facts folk!

Of course, they used it to the nth degree but certainly leverage can take you to new heights! So ask yourself....How can I apply leverage to everything in my business? Start with your key processes and see how you can multiply your results!

They have the SAME MIND as ours! And you know what they don't only have something in common among themselves, they are as common as all of us...Heck..They also pick their noses... The answers here are very much eye opening, sometimes humorous but mostly enlightening, realizing that these people came-in like us feels like us, struggles like us and will die like us. There are actually no lines dividing them from us..In reality we are the ones making them rich, we buy their products or services right. If there are divisions between us and them they won't get rich, infact the main reason they got to be wealthy is because they learned how to use the connection and similarity in all people by providing products and services. There are differences though, we may it with ordinary metal spoons, they could have gold! They could go anywhere and swarns of people would follow them..As for us only our childrens could do that, and sometimes still with necessary motivation.

Leigh Burke Senior Warrior Member War Room Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Australia Posts: 1,448 Thanks: 5 Thanked 471 Times in 40 Posts Social Networking	Re: The 100 Wealthiest People in the World I believe the answer is in the first paragraph.... "The total net worth is an estimate measured in United States dollars, based on the closing stock prices of the stock exchanges on which each person's company is listed..." They all own stock in companies that they own that are listed companies! In other words....the list is a list of net worth on paper. That might explain why Buffet is always so stingy, he doesn't actually have any cash in his wallet!

Posts: 3,267 Thanks: 3 Thanked 784 Times in 425 Posts	Re: The 100 Wealthiest People in the World First of all Warren Buffett is hardly "stingy" unless you think the money you spend on personal expenses should somehow match your net worth. But the principle Buffett understood and embraced was compound interest. He drove an inexpensive car for many years even when he was a multi-millionaire because he'd worked out how much the $40,000 he might spend on a car today would be worth when you compounded it by 30%+ interest a year for 10 years... $551,433 to be exact and yes Buffet at one time was getting 30%+ annual net worth increase on his investments. Buffet wasn't too excited about effectively paying half a million dollars for a car so he kept expenses like this low until his net worth was so high it made very little difference. Kindest regards, Andrew Cavanagh
