I'm glad you stopped at #10. I don't need my butler's worth getting out.


Every year I have to set a reminder to contact Forbes to make sure they don't list me (which would have me somewhere in the top 5).

With that said, do all of those Saudi Princes dudes have their worth hidden? Maybe I just don't pay attention, but when mentioning the wealthiest in the world I don't recall ever seeing them unless they have non Saudi type names

And if they would have gotten into the e-commerce trade earlier than they did, their worth would probably be roughly a half a trillion dollars, and hardly anybody in this world knows who the f*ck is Jeff Bezos.


First job out of college was with Sears. It amazes me how Jeff Bezos recreated Sears in the digital age. Sears had it all…distribution centers, suppliers, channels to market…but was so hung up on “we’ve always done it this way” that they got buried.

The Saudis have two forms of wealth- the royal wealth, which is almost always exempt from such listings as it makes the deliniation of state versus the monarch's holdings a fuzzy line-- otherwise you'd see the Sultan of Brunei and the Saudi princes and their compatriots at or near the top of every list--- and the wealth of the class that enables the Saudi Royal family. Those people are small b billionaires, rather than big B, Bezos types

I hope there’s some sort of cataclysm in my lifetime that shakes up the social order to where I can be ruled by someone who can beat me up instead of a bunch of anemic asthmatic pedophiles

No, wealthy people do well no matter who is in office.

I don’t see Todd Graves on it. Isn’t he valued at $8B now according to Bloomberg?

Yes,, because it is soooooo much cheaper.


NASA suffers from weak leadership and sucking off whatever party is in the WH.
