Forbes: 2009 Billionaire list

Aww was just hoping to be on the list too.

Thanks for the list.

Rank -- Name -- Citizenship -- Age -- Net Worth ($bil) -- Residence
26 -- Sergey Brin -- United States -- 35 -- 12.0 -- United States
26 -- Larry Page -- United States -- 36 -- 12.0 -- United States

The stat no one looks at,
add up all the money the nfl players have gotten to date and by far the richest organization would be the nfl (outside of government)

I'd wager that those 332 ex-billionaires still have hundreds of millions of dollars. *shrug. I'd settle for that.

Ouch! Hope global financial crisis ends soon

It would appear going by the news today that the economy in the UK is "no longer in free-fall". I'd imagine it is much the same in America seeming as both our economies seem to be sharing the same fate at the moment.

If there are less billionaires then youd expect there to be more money in the world for normal people? Or did the multi-millionaires get their hands on it some how...

And about the UK economy... house prices are STILL going up in some places.

I thought FIFA was the richest sporting organization in the world.

Yeah, the north east of Scotland around Aberdeen is still going strong. I believe Inverness is also doing well too.
