Forbes Magazine released its annual “BILLIONAIRE LIST” and here’s the breakdown. the worlds richest billionaire is Mexican Telecom guru Carlos Slim Helu. he’s worth $69 billion and this is his third year in the world on top. Microsoft’s Bill Gates was second with $61 billion. Warren Buffett third, and Frenchman Bernard Arnault coming in at #4.
as for japan, the wealthiest man in japan is Tadashi Yanai. he comes in at 88th on the list of world’s richest with $10 billion. the genius in the mastermind of the fastest retailing company in japan, UNIQLO. yeah, the same UNIGLO that will probably take over asia. think Quiksilver and Billabong are big? they are like ants against the giant. Anyway, Japan has 24 people mentioned in the Forbes global list of 1,226 billionaires and the Unites States has the most with 425 people.
i check news like this because it inspires me to succeed. i always ask myself “what would i do with that kind of money?” my answer is still the same. “I’d make this world a better place.” but for now, i might not be the richest person in the world, but i can say one thing, “I’m the happiest person in the world!” and to me, that’s all that matters. Surf Your Dream!
