Всеки знае кои са най-богатите хора днес, но кои са най-богатите хора на всички времена … трудна работа. И след щателно проучване на всички възможности, ние се опитахме да направим класация и ето какво се получи:

1. John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) — $200 милиарда

Ако си мислите, че Бил Гейтс е върха на сладоледа, то жестоко се лъжете, защото неговите билиони са поне наполовина по-малко от тези на Рокфелер. А за Рокфелер всички са чували, но ако случайно искате да узнаете повече то направете си услуга и прочетете биографията му – Титан: животът на Рокфелер и ще разберете всичко за него, богатството, политиката и бизнеса.

2. Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) — $110 милиарда

Единственото, което ще кажем за Карнеги е, че до смъртта си през 1919 година той е раздал над 350 милиона долара за библиотеки, училища и университети в Шотландия, САЩ и къде ли не (къде ли сме били ние тогава). Той е и създателя на Carnegie Steel Company, която по-късно се превръща в U.S. Steel.

3. Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) — $100 милиарда

Американският корабостроител, финансист и строител на железницата в САЩ Вандербилт заема нашата почетна 3-та позиция. И с внушителните си 100 билиона долара не случайно има доста мераклии, които кръщават дори университети в негова чест.

4. John Jacob Astor (1763-1848) — $85 милиарда

Издигнал се от нулата, роденият в Германия Астор е поредното доказателство за американската мечта, чието име се превръща в нарицателно на всичко свързано с пазара на кожи в САЩ.

5. William Gates III — $50 милиарда

Стигнахме и до най-богатият човек днес, който наскоро се оттегли от поста си, за да се занимава с благотворителност заедно със съпругата си Мелинда Френч Гейтс. И за разлика от повечето богаташи Гейтс обещава да дари над 90% от състоянието си за най-различни благотворителни каузи. Е, както се казва „поживем - увидим”.

6. Warren Buffett — $42 милиарда

Вторият по богатство в света към днешна дата – Уорън Буфет, също издигнал се от нулата и вече на 75 години. Какво да се прави, годините не прощават дори и на най-богатите.

7. Carlos Slim Helu — $30 милиарда

Единственият латино - американец в класацията ни, който наскоро попадна и в класацията на Форбс за най-богатите хора в света след като продаде част от акциите си и направи доста разумни вложения в сферата на телекомуникациите.

8. Ingvar Kamprad – $28 милиарда

Собственик на Икеа, с магазини в над 33 държави, какво повече ви трябва да знаете …

9. Lakshmi Mittal — $ 23.5 милиарда

Собственик на най-голямата в света компания за стомана – Mittal Steel. А ако някога сте се чудили и коя е най-скъпата сватба в света организирана в замък в Париж и струвала 55 милиона долара – то не се чудете вече, става въпрос за сватбата на дъщерята на Лакшми Митал – Ваниша.

10. Paul Allen — $22 милиарда

Съсобственик на Microsoft и собственик на Vulcan Ventures, това е Пол Алън, последен в класацията ни и с невероятното състояние оценено на 22 билиона долара. Да си призная нямам нищо напротив и аз да съм последна точно в тази класация.

Не щото ми стана много чудно днес като гледах класацията на Форбс за най-богатите хора в света и ми стана странно,защо му е на човек да трупа толкова големи богатства Колкото и тъпо да звучи на мене 100-на милиона долара ми стигат,но да речем това аз бих нарекъл дота богат човек...за какво са им милиарди долари...аз приемрно ако имах 10 милярда долара бих ги дарил повечето а 100-на милиона бих си оставил за да си живуркам Мисълта ми е че малко или много тоя свят почва да ни развращава забележете че преди 10-на години милярдерите по света са били около 600 а днес гонят хиляда

ми аз за това мн се дразня,за какво им е да трупат толкова пари и да имат по 50 хиляди къщи като спокойно могат да дадат част от парите за благотворителност,или пък да ги дарят на някой научен екип който да разработва ваксини и лекарства...Единствено съм чувал,че Ричард Брансън(собственика на Върджин)дава 20 милиона долара на този който успее да измисли начин за затваряне на дупките във озоновия слой и да пречисти въздуха ни като по този начин предодврати глобалното затопляне Изключвам и Бил Гейтс който наистина много ми се издигна в очите след като разбрах че е дарил 400милиона долара на УНИЦЕФ и смята да даде половината си състояние за благотворителност

всичко си опира до пари но не са най-важни
другите човешки ценности са мн по важни
един човек колкото и пари да има няма ли сърце и душа
парите немогат да му помогнат , почти всичките му приятели са с него заради парите купува си всичко и живота му се върти само около парите ...

ПАРИТЕ НЕ СА ВСИЧКО
