I'm surprised Russia isn't on the list, maybe because we have more billionaires than millionares 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. HiddenAgenda http://dr-morpheus.blogspot.com/
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 ?
