Must be an older list as they didn't include the CEO of Ikea - who recently passed up Bill Gates as the richest...
Yep this is an old list... strange though that i posted it now... but knowing how much these folks worth is quite interesting...
ppffffffffffftttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!....(we're a tough crowd here)

,,, 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.
So his years are 3900 days long?
Darn. I was really hoping I'd make the list this year.
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.
/.....what does this have to do with BP Colonial gas prices in the U.S.A. of Empire Britain?
I must've come in at #11.
I'll get on the list next time.
Shouldn't the pope be on that list, since he's the sole shareholder of the world's largest corporation?
I almost made the list! I'm short only almost 16.5 billion!

Ingvar Kamprad, founder of Swedish furniture giant IKEA, has denied reports that he has surpassed Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates as the world's richest man, said a USA Today report.
The upcoming issue of Swedish business weekly Veckans Affarer has estimated Kamprad's wealth at 400 billion kronor ($53 billion), while Forbes magazine puts Bill Gates' fortune at $40.7 billion. The magazine said that the furniture magnate had thus overtaken Gates.
However, the furniture giant said it is incorrect to say that Ingvar Kamprad owns the entire company, along with all its stores. IKEA said this mistake was made very often.
The USA Today report quoted a company spokesperson as saying that 'Ingvar Kamprad does not own IKEA as he has donated the concern to the Dutch Stichting INGKA Foundation in 1982.'
Kamprad, 77, who now lives in Switzerland, no longer participates in the daily management of IKEA. Media reports said the dollar's slide against other currencies is the main reason why Kamprad has overtaken Gates.
In February, Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the world's billionaires had put Kamprad at No. 13, with an estimated fortune of $18.5 billion, with Bill Gates at No. 1. Forbes ranked investment guru Warren Buffett as the second richest man in the world after Gates.
I've seen such photos. Yowza. I think maybe I could afford to look at it being run for forty minutes.
