Nope, Bill Gates is still the richest man in the world!
Well, hope that there is nothings wrong for being rich or poor. Suppose if all the peoples of this world becomes equally rich or poor, then will not the world stop functions its basic regular courses. That’s why doesn’t the rich one are just being rich for the poors and the poors are just being poor for the riches. Where else there could be who is being rich or poor for themselves alone, don’t they needs each other to create things either good or bad just as the positive and negative current needs each other to produce either useful or harmful effects, therefore isn’t that they seem like to have an equal weight if the poor and the rich one are to be weighed on a pairs of a balanced scales.
the richest soul winner in the world
Some are extremely wealthy while some are extremely poor, what are the rich people doing special that others ain’t doing? I wonder.
Not trying to argue with you or anything but why do you think they have the obligation to help the poor?

Great read! Very inspiring to say the least. Anything is possible. If we all put in the work and aspire to one day be an additional helping hand to the world, I don’t see why we won’t be able to do it. Probably not top 20, but a life of abundance and fulfillment.
Thanks for letting me know the rich guys .
God is the giver of whatever we have today so let us not forget to thank God.
Remember to help the needy like me who is struggling to earn a living . God bless us all whether the rich or poor.
Make Money, Save Money, Invest Money—Repeat. That is the formula for creating wealth.

God bless all multi-billioners in the world with divine light, love and power! More blessings of financial prosperity and spirituality, with goodwill and the will to do good!
I pray that God will open up their heart to give, I know some are giving, they should never get tired. God gave some people riches so that they can bless others. Many of us need empowerment. I wish they will help
So true……they are so blinded by the money they forget why they were blessed with it……

Putin is number 1
What is the profession of jeff bezos?
CEO of Amazon.
Carlos Slim Helu has dropped bigtime. So the space now is dominated by Tech.
its easy to beat all of these guys! all you need is a time machine 🙂
Most of these people came up on the horizon of the wealth due to the hard work, wisdom and their farsightedness; further, they are blessed with the Goddess of wealth. most of them are kind and large hearted, peace lovers and generous. So we must respect them and delight our self open heartedly in their pleasure. The “Universal power” will automatically bless upon us. It is a Law of the Universe.
Just a minor correction: Bezos was not the first person to hit $100 billion in net worth. That honor belongs to Bill Gates back in 1999. He’s just chosen to give a lot of that away.
Great list, thanks for sharing.
To start with, this is touching and I will say what I have seen in this website, it’s gonna give people good vibes and spur them up. if you ask me who I believed will be the richest man? I’ll say “elon musk” but am happy to see the current list above too and I pray those who wish to get there will get there.
Why didn’t i see trump the president being counted as a rich man.. ???
“Today I see a billion people as a billion potential consumers, an opportunity to generate value for them and to make a return for myself”
The rich get richer??
I’m thankful for a home and car that’s paid for, a pantry that is full, a pension that I can live on, and affordable health insurance.
And I am thankful to have another day to repent from my wicked ways.
The richest person is the one who knows the truth and what we take with us after we die.
Thought Donald Trump would be there among the other rich people
I want to be like Elon Musk and Drive Tesla.
I going to say that the first trillionaire will be coming out soon. I bet the same person will be more than generous with his brothers and sisters. And not for a tax break!
