Must be an older list as they didn't include the CEO of Ikea - who recently passed up Bill Gates as the richest...

,,, someone sent me a POWERPOINT file via eMAIL a few months back, showing several shots of Paul Allen's monster yacht. I think if I cashed everything up I could afford to run that sucker for forty minutes.

Michael Dell is in his 40's now. Still young, but he's not 34.

he sells $2 million a day, and the company revenues are about $7.8 billion a year

So his years are 3900 days long?

The other two secret ingredients for wealth are, in no particular order, working for Microsoft and/or being an oil baron.

He forgot the third option, which is by far the best solution. Get to know the Creator's Son. Get your name in the Book of Life. This qualifies you to inherit a new Heaven and Earth, were you can enjoy eternal living (to quote the Moody Blues) "beyond your wildest dreams".

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Shouldn't the pope be on that list, since he's the sole shareholder of the world's largest corporation?

In 1976, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to devote full attention to his start-up venture. Bill Gates and Paul Allen signed a partnership agreement in 1977 and by year end Microsoft had nine employees in its Albuquerque office. Microsoft began 1981 with 60 employees, all younger than age 40. The partnership also graduated to a privately held corporation during 1981. Microsoft did not go public until 1986, eleven years after formation. By 1998, Microsoft had revenues of $14+ billion and 27,000+ employees. Bill Gates still owns 18.50% of the stock, with a market value in excess of $75 billion.
...........................................................

The tale of how Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft in Albuquerque in 1975 but had to move home to Seattle in 1979 when he could not get a bank loan to pay legal fees is sometimes viewed as the state's greatest missed opportunity, sometimes as a narrow escape.

The REAL richest people in the world are probably smart enough and careful enough to keep off lists like "The 10 Richest People in the World..."

Some of the title should include "Some of the Top Ten Hardest Workers In The World."
