Anybody besides me make this list?

Forbes latest list of the world's billionaires:

http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/10/07billionaires_The-Worlds-Billionaires_Rank.html

One Canadian, in 10th place. But, the most remarkable part compared to past years is the total absence of any Walton's in the top 10 (Used to be about 5 in the top 10 in the past--gotta feel sorry for them, eh?). To find them now you must look into the mid and late 20's. Their stock is down that much. BTW, for those who do not know, they are heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune. Put all the Walton money in one person's pocket and that person would be number 1, at about 100 billion.

Plenty of money for the funn stuff in life.

One Canadian? You might as well include Li Ka-shing since he spends so much time in Vancouver...

Whoa! Lots of very old dudes on that list. I smell another Anna Nicole Smith coming.

There is a total of 896 billionaires on the list (21 Canadians by my count) and Jim Pattison is #230.

random observations

What surprises me most about this year's top 25 is the large # of billionaires from India, anyone else notice?

Doesn't seem to be as many asians compared to previous years and no Japanese representative this year. Only a matter of time before someone from China makes the list

On to the Americanas, I thought the Google boyz would make the top 25 this year, oh well maybe next yr. WTF.. Steve Wynn isn't even the top casino mogul in Vegas?..who da fk is Sheldon Adelson?

Amazing how far Jerry Yang of Yahoo fame has fallen. Wasn't he once in the top 25?
