Why does Forbes title it "The World's Billionaires" when it only covers American billionaires living here and abroad?

Sshhhh......

We're trying to keep that a secret.



(actually, I think there were probably two lists. This one got picked up for general U.S. distribution .
That would be my guess)

I've never even met any of these folks and I'm a long, long, way from their tax bracket. Which one did you say was your neighbor?

"Which one did you say was your neighbor?"

Several of them live in the same state. Almost all of them live in the same country. None of them sends me a birthday card heh heh come to think of it, they don't get one from me either.

Wow - William Ford Sr. now coming in as a bottom feeder with a measly $1 billion.

Poor sucker.

Thanks - good job.

Nothing against you, because you quoted the source, but this list is about the dumbest thing I have ever seen. It would have helped to have had it in order of rank or even alphabetical by individual. I couldn't even find Bill Gates so I gave up and read the comments of your posters. Thanks all!
