Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 | Review with

Before this, I’ve never been feeling surprise while seeing “top world billionaires” article. But I feel something different while reading an article at money.cnn.com titled as “The Billionaires 1991”. This article is from FORTUNE magazine, published at 9 September 1991. It shows top world billionaires at 1991.

At the top five positions is Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah from Brunei with $31 billion, Sam Moore Walton from AmericaSaudi Arabia with $18 billion, albert reiichmann from Canada with $12,8 billion, and forrest mars SR from America with $12.5 billion. with $21.1 billion, King fahd bin abdul aziz from

It’s interesting to see top world billionaires 2008 from forbes, if we compare with 1991 billionaires, their wealth has doubled. Top billionaires at 1991 have $31 billion, and top at 2008 has $62 billion.

Here are top five positions at 2008:

  •           Warren Buffet from United States with $62 billion
  •           Carlos Slim Helu & Family From Mexico with $60 billion
  •           William Gates III from United States from United States with $58 billion
  •           Lakshmi Mittal from United Kingdom with $45 billion.

We can see, the previous top five are become billionaires because their previous successor but the current top five become billionaires because their business. In French, this is called as “Nouveau Riche”.

With these statistics, we can see how the “Nouveau Riche” earns their money. if we have their pattern to be known. It would become benefits for us. Since we would see the next thing for become the “Nouveau Riche”.
