- SRSco, on 01/29/2009, -4/+15American excess makes me sick!
Oh wait. Most of these aren't even Americans. - nerdherder, on 01/30/2009, -3/+12Dugg for "Dildo Shop Franchise"
- Asten77, on 01/30/2009, -1/+10Uh, the top guy on that list has donated $30.7 billion to charity in one fell swoop already. Which, btw is the largest philanthropic donation in the history of the planet.
Not to mention untold millions of dollars donated without any fanfare or announcement...
He fully intends to donate the rest to charity as well someday.
Not all rich people are evil. - KMartSheriff, on 01/30/2009, -3/+11Dildo Shop Franchise?

Mac user? - pkjohnson17, on 01/29/2009, -2/+7yeah i only lost 2.1 billion and i couldn't make it
- JammoBlammo, on 01/30/2009, -1/+6One idea? Are you kidding me? Microsoft isn't exactly the "pet rock".
- meson2k, on 01/30/2009, -0/+54 of the 10 are Indian,
3 Americans,
a French, an Arab and a Japanese...
hmm... guess its time I pack-up and move to India... Dang... shoulda seen it coming. - kckinn, on 01/30/2009, -0/+4Sunil Mittal owns Bharti and not Mittal coomunications
- celer1ty, on 01/29/2009, -3/+7The shear wealth of all these individuals is outlandish.
I mean, what do you do with all that money anyway? - inactive, on 01/30/2009, -0/+4Ellison made all that with a data base?
- Codename, on 01/30/2009, -1/+4Bathe in gold pieces...
- atticus8, on 01/30/2009, -0/+3I can tell a guy like you meticulously pores over the article you're commenting about before giving your considered opinion. I can tell this because, other than the six out of ten people on the list who aren't white, you are totally correct.
- Narcism, on 01/30/2009, -0/+3I saw what you did there.
- TheMachine1, on 01/30/2009, -1/+4No Zorg?
- venuspcs, on 01/30/2009, -2/+5Some day I am going take a time machine and go back in time and invest $1 million into each of the following companies: Microsoft (would be over a Trillion today if invested at its founding), Oracle (would be over $1 Billion today), IBM (would be over $5 Billion today), Berkshire Hathaway (would be over $500 Billion today), Intel (would be over $500 Billion today), AT&T (invested in the 40's would be over 3 Trillion today)........Anyone got a time machine and $6 million I can borrow for a few minutes???? I will give you a 30 second ROI of $1 Trillion Dollars..........
- scepticus, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2Only 3 people from the U.S. ... I find that interesting.
- inactive, on 01/30/2009, -2/+4Rule the masses.
- wonkavsn, on 01/30/2009, -1/+3Use it to make more money.
- Ergodigitality, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2To watch your shares go from 35 billion to 1 and a half billion that quick...ouch. He invested 1 billion into las vegas lol
- chourobin, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2warrens donating 30B to the gates foundation...
- phlux, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2HAHA the jokes on you!
Someone already did that!
how else would you explain their successes???
/s - minoss, on 01/30/2009, -1/+3You clearly have no clue how CEOs get paid. Class warfare FTW!
- vbullinger, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2How many are Freemasons?
- JensenSteve, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2Don't worry, Obama will solve all of our problems.
- MVPhurricane, on 01/30/2009, -1/+3why wouldn't you just put it all in AT&T then?
- fuzzynyanko, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2Actually, I heard that Balmer gets $1.5 million between his salary and bonuses per year. That's not huge considering the company's net income. I wonder if any other CEOs on the list are like that.
- minoss, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2You invest it which is then used as capital for other business ventures. You really think they are just keeping billions under the mattress?
- inactive, on 01/30/2009, -2/+4I'm just waiting for all of the "they don't deserve it" comments that digg users spout off.
- inactive, on 01/29/2009, -5/+6Seems like a lot of Indian families taking over this list.
- Topsiders, on 01/30/2009, -2/+3Number 1? You guessed it, Frank Stallone.
- BSmeter, on 01/30/2009, -0/+1tl:dr
- inactive, on 01/30/2009, -0/+1Ugh! The plebs again? Let them eat cake!
- inactive, on 01/30/2009, -0/+1No they wouldn't. They assume like many corporate asshats you have no choice so take it or leave it. There is a $50 take it or leave it fee BTW.
- phlux, on 01/30/2009, -0/+1I've liked this quote in the past:
"Its hard to make money, but once you have money - money makes itself" - inactive, on 01/30/2009, -0/+1Chicks
- Callidus, on 01/30/2009, -0/+1You'd think a site like Forbes would know what attracts a customer to a product.
- inactive, on 02/01/2009, -0/+1http://digg.com/business_finance/Billionaire_Steve ...
This is how they get rich. - karmaroks, on 01/30/2009, -2/+34 Indians in the top ten? A microcosm of everything wrong with India's distribution of wealth. Digg me down now.
- pilotkid, on 02/02/2009, -0/+1Alright yes, he still has "perhaps" 1.5 Billion but I'd be soooooo pissed to have $35 Billion in Late 2007 and only have 1.5 of that left today...Damn that sucks.
- jsbee, on 01/30/2009, -1/+2Microsoft's current market capitalization isn't a trillion dollars, so time machine or no, your investment would never reach that amount, even assuming you could purchase 100% of the equity of the company (and why would BG give up all of his equity for only a million dollars?)
Same thing with Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire is only Warren Buffet's holding company because he could buy it cheap. If you were putting millions into it, driving up its share price, he would have never purchased it to begin with. And then you would have a failing textile supply firm.
Anyway, good luck with your plan! - philatsquidoo, on 02/02/2009, -0/+1It's annoying to see how world economy is in trouble and the bosses of some big C's still cash in like hell.
I think they should respond with their personal money for all that debt their firms accumulated and where the gov has now to throw in billions of tax money.
Shame on you exec's, big losers.

- inactive, on 01/30/2009, -0/+1okay people notice how this list is not SEXIST.. because it lists peoples achievements.. not their achievements because of their sex.. LEARN THE ***** DIFFERENCE SEXIST BITCHES!
