    "The second-youngest self-made billionaire is Japan's Yoshikazu Tanaka (33), who made $1.4 billion from social networking firm Gree."

    Am I being ever so slightly racist for thinking he actually thought he was calling his firm "Glee" ?
    1,197 people agree with me.. how many agree with you ?

    socialism of losses (e.g. NAMA and bank capitalisation) has nothing to do with capitalism. True capitalists don't support it.

    You chumps believing Cassandra's conspiracy theory about a trilliionaire. Is Casandra David Icke in disguise?

    Indeed, these so-called Rich Lists provide an simple insight to how the media is used to hookwink the public. The duped hate being told that they've been duped however.

    It is.
    "But do 'climategate' revelations justify the sceptics’ claims that this is “the final nail in the coffin” of global warming theory? Not at all. They damage the credibility of three or four scientists. They raise questions about the integrity of one or perhaps two out of several hundred lines of evidence."

    The Romanovs were murdered, that's how their line was ended, though those fortunate people won't be too worried by envy. Isn't Carlos Slim a telecoms billionaire, and probably rich by working his powerful political connections ruthlessly? Denis O'Brien is a sort of Irish mini-me yellow pack version.

    Well for him. I congratulate Slim on his hard work's rewards.
    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.
