I repeat my comment bcos i made a mistake on the email address. that “by his grace wen my time will come l will be richer than most of them”
The rich just keep being rich, the poor keep getting poorer and theres alot of them. i think forbes should publish a list of the worlds poorest persons and i suggest that each of the 400 fortunas show some care towards such persons

Bye!!!!!!!
I’m not in the list and never will happen that because rather than making money I want to be a worthwhile human being. I’m a salaried employee,living without tension,and more happier than these peoples.
Riches are a blessing from God,God is the Richest out of all the profiles, he owns properties worth Myriads and Trillions.When we are given the opportunity of becoming Rich lets not forget God.The oldest book tracks us to rich people like Abraham, Job etc becaz they feared God. Above silver and Gold lets Honor God pliz!!!

How I wish I am rich like anyone of the richest people in the world, like Billgate I would have been more than happy in this world. Billgate I adore you so much. How do I contact you please. Thanks.
hey i want some money to buy ipod..please bill gates!!!!…
I would like to know how anybody could possiby spend that much money in their life time. Wouldn’t it be better to help people less fortunate than they are. I’m a hard working person, and only make a small amount of money, most of that goes for medicine. I have ideas and believes, and I would love to have anyone of these rich billionaires to help me get my idea up and going, or some advise. Most of these people have connections. Some of them are very smart, and they deserve what they have. I just wish they would write a book and let us know where to begin or to start with an idea, and little money. Please help us. I don’t want much money just enough to pay for my family needs.
Slim is number 1
Hi,
I lost all after opening my business, how, lack of money and publicity which is vital to a business. Now I am in ruins. I need a millionaire or billionaire to invest in my business asap! Thanks.
very very lucky lucky guys living heaven on earth. lots of opportunities and means to help people and yourselves. congratulations!
I can get rich only if given the chance.There are some sinful structures in society which prevent people from becoming rich.
REMEMBER ! NO ONE STEALS BEFORE HE STARVES.
WE ALL KNOW MONEY IS THE FUEL OF HAPPYNESS, AND WHO SAYS (NO) IS A DREAMER, I AM RICH, BUT NOT A BILLIONARE, STILL CLIMBING TO BE AMOUNG YOU THERE, NOT ONLY AMOUNG YOU, BUT AT THE TOP OF YOU, STILL YOUNG AND HAVE A LOT TO GIVE GUYS, THEN WE CAN ENJOY TOGETHER, AND WAIT FOR OTHERS TO COME OVER.
EDDIE … FUTURE’S RICHEST MAN ON THE PLANET.
I will beat these richest persons,but i just wana be a great person by my talent and that is elertronic and communication
billionaires are many but the point is who will be the first trillioner of the world . Oops that will be the most dramatic face of this age.
im rich but witout money
Slim is now the richest man on the planet
Being a billionare is not easy. One need right brain, fortune and idea of how to do, when to do, what it would be its results and many things of which only them or future them know it. Being so rich is definitly something big. But believe me, its not big as the amount. The one who is really succesfull with money is not the richest person, but those who are realise that this is only for some small period and they need to do right thing with whatever is available. God gave more money, maybe in less time to some people only, that only to test them. To see that if they are spending it in the right way, to see if they think its due to only there work or it only goes through once fate. Everything is only to test people. I only hope it doesn’t ever turn against them in one day in which the amount of money they made is not a criteria, but only their way of spending.
i want to become rich,, so that i can help others..i hope someday GOD will grant me my wish.. I felt sad when I can see beggars in d street,, and I have no money and power to help them..
This is 2007, and in 2008 i will be one of the young richest persons, in 2010 south Africa’s richest person and in 2015 making it on the top 100 richest in the world. watch and learn don’t forget my name I’m coming the world,Donald Trump, Bill Gates, patrice Motsepe, the Oppenhimer family are scared that i said this catch me if you can “one deal a day”
When you post some stuff on the rich list, the you prompt to getting Rich, i am already rich even though i can still avoid a sneaker’s not to talk of Car, but when i wake up in the money pray to god , see me self strong and still hoping. I no am rich, God told me, i will make you Jushua of your family, a Kind over so many people of your in your Generation. He also say, a King dont hustle, but earth the waelth og the gentile. I am Richer the Carlus Slim and William Gate. I beileve it. In the Name Of Juesus.
One day before I turn 50,I will be among the fella’s world’s richest names.
Hello!! It’s a pleasure for me to have an opportunity to tell my opinions about those richest person. . and that is GO!!
Been rich is nothing strange or an important phenomenon,the amount of a man’s wealth is measured by the help he rendered to people.Enuogh of this rich rich and rich mentality,inspite of all the wealthy people this world is blessed with yet there is still hunger in the land.It is just a waste of time.Though i am coming OUT.

Forbes list is more than a fake why livin south african billionnaires like Patrice motsepe out.He has earned to be mentioned bcos according to finacial mail hes a billionnaire, why livin him out. i want to know.
i’d say gates would stay top for quite long because he has the ability to create more stuff for people to use take over companies.
I just wanted to know if this world top richest people are willing to let (even 0.1%) of there wealth to assist the world richest person like I who has reason to live.
Just check this list in seven years time and you don’t have to ask whats my name.I believe that i will be in the top 10.

how can i make one hundred mllion dollars(american)legitimately.so i can retire and rise a family.
I wish all of u live long life with good health and use this money.
HI,I”M not that rich, but theres a very good chance I might be? for I came up with the worlds best idea, I’m not sure if I should even be typing this, but I have a lot of trust in people! which my pop say I can’t be like that. But if there was a person that had faith in me? I know that that person would be very happy he meet me? I can think of a great idea and 20 to 30 years latter some one has it on the market, I own 3 corp.-2008 and if you could just let me show you what things i have patented you would be happy you? i’ll bet my life on it, so if this site and comments reach the right persons? you will get in touch with me if you are into making more money? so if I dont hear from anyone, I will still get to where I want to be, if I have to start selling one at a time. because i prototypes done, if I hade funding I would open a larger facility with a lot more personal. and in nevada I would have our main plant, I could put thousands of employees to work if I had payroll covered, and this product sell them self, I already have 150 on back order, but the best thing is the 153 people I talked to a 150 said yes I want one, for me I just typed in ” world most riches billionairs” But most likely I might get a responce from this, but my plan is to go to my bank where I have put a lot of funds over the years. then ask them how they can help me, and show them my Ideas, which I already had one of the head of Commerce look at it and he like all my products, and he also sending me to people who could be a partner a buyer or just a lender, but I will when, because I look at life like a MT. if your almost to the top and you fall! you get back up and go over that hill. and I live my life everyday like a walking over a MT. Thank you your time if you read this, and my you day be a very good one L.S.
i AM WORLDS RICHEST MAN……..though i dont have enough money but i have blessings of SAI BABA with me……so i am the richest man, who cares for money its just a peice of paper.
BILL GATE must work hard so that he will be the richest man in the world
Please help save my soul as God Almighty will be with you.
As Warren currently tops the chart with his investments,i would suggest he diversifies his investment to keep him on top for a very long time. Thanks to his charity work of touching lives, giving hope to the destitutes and emancipating souls. I would be excited to here that he is also stretching his hand of goodwill to the poor in Africa.

Hi

The World must appreciate the fact that GOD has allow these people to be a billionaires, and there’s nothing ill feelings about that.
For me, I enjoy simply rich life, BUT, when I see someone dying from AIDS or diseases, I need help because I can’t. Help pls.
I am richer than them all.The difference is just “TIME”.
To be Rich or Not To Be Rich?
That is the Answer,
The question is, are you willing to put the effort, every one can be a multi-trillionaire, but the effort should be beyond your imagination.

EEFFOORRTT = $$$
In Kuwait here, we are developing, but is only the 9th Richest contry, (37th Richest if measured in GDP/Capita). but we are still shopping and buuying a lot even with the financial crisis(08).
Kuwaiti’s are not as rich in wealth terms because all money is spent on clothes, travelling, jet planes and helicopters, cars houses in Kuwait and outside, investment overseas, property, insurance, assets bussineses coorporations overseas, so money is not seen together as it is distributed throughout the world. ___
The only comment i can make is or ask
One of the billionaires to help me buy 4 bungalows worth 200, 000 USD for my family in Kenya.
Could one of you billionaires help me out with a $40,000 loan? The banks are not lending money and hoarding the bailout cash they received. I am $40,000 in debt. I would gladly pay you back with interest. The economy is failing because of the banks greed. They continue to charge consumers 19% or more interest rates while the federal reserve is lending it to the banks at 0.25%. That is what is driving this economy in the ground. So, if there is a billionaire out there that can loan me $40,000, I would gladly appreciate it. I can make payments of $1000.00 per month back to you if I had this debt consolidated.
I think every richest world persons should have a meeting and see the way to get a better world, they have much money and they can help the world economy and do a bussiness for everybody win, and they do not think only to increase their personal accounts. please think it over
its is good for them but i am coming to be the number one. watchout’
M very rich than ALL but the difference is just time
I will always be ahead of $10000000 from the richest person in the world.
My Father is the owner of heaven and earth and all its fullness thereof,and He has given it to me as an inheritance and i know definitely the world is waiting for me to step on stage and the time has come for me to shine amidst this economic meltdown.
