  3. I'm surprised Russia isn't on the list, maybe because we have more billionaires than millionares :D

    One thing is certain through: they didn't make their money by trading online (well, neither did Warren Buffet, for that matter).

    They made it offline in the 1990's, by "converting" (many would say - stealing) Soviet property and turning it into their own.

  4. Humpy

    Humpy

    Isn't it strange how the rich hide behind high walls, electrified fences, compound guards etc.

    Are they happy - I think not and many are quivering in fear in case their kiddies are kidnapped etc.

    Is it worth being a greedy pig you may ask or is it now easier for

    the camel to walk thru the eye of a needle ?

    P.S. I got a million dollar US bill recently - should I auction it or give it away ?

  5. actually from time immemorial, empires have ruled the world before embracing democracy. Spanish empire, British empire,etc. Unfortunately, the brits fostered upon India democracy first, thus plunging it into unmitigated chaos
