  • Forbes Releases List Of Obscenely Wealthy Americans

    Forbes have released the latest update of the 400 richest lizards people in America, and it read likes a who’s-who of global masonry. Those money-grubbers have a combined worth of $1,37 trillion (check out MoneyWeb’s useful infographic to get your mind around that).

    And without any more faffing-about, the top ten richest people in the only country they know about America are, in order of self-importance:

    1. Bill Gates, Microsoft $54 billion
    2. Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway $45 billion
    3. Larry Ellison, Oracle Corp, $27 billion
    4. Christy Walton and family, Wal-Mart $24 billion
    5. Charles Koch, Koch Industries, $21.5 billion
    6. David Koch, Koch Industries, $21.5 billion
    7. Jim Walton, Wal-Mart, $20.1 billion
    8. Alice Walton, Wal-Mart, $20 billion
    9. S. Robson Walton, $19.7 billion
    10. Michael Bloomberg, Bloomberg LP, $18 billion

    Zuckerberg (number 35) has been robbed of his title as the youngest billionaire in the world, having been pipped off the post by fellow Facebook founder Duston Moskovitz, who is eight days younger, and a whole lot more likable than the 26 year old Zuckerberg.

    Oprah pulled in at number 130, after having severely depleted her wealth by splashing on out on heinously extravagant audience gifts, including sending and entire studio full of people to Australia for a holiday (“Enjoy our flooding!”), probably in an effort to get just the smallest damned piece of alone time with Gayle.
