How many of you realize that Bill Gates is nowhere near the richest man?

Do you buy into the idea that Bill Gates is the single richest person on this planet?

Bill Gates is somewhere around 40+ billion. Telecom mogul Carlos Slim in Mexico is worth about $70 billion. Larry Elison has even been "on top" a few times depending on where Oracle stock is at any given time.

Yet, I know first hand (actually second hand) of somone who CLEARS 10 billion a year. Obviously I am not going to be naming names because this person does not want you to know he makes this much. His daughter let it slip to one of my friends who used to be in a long term relationship with her. My friend is not someone who would just make up a story and he was even a bit nervous giving me this info.

Now, we all know that being worth $70 billion and CLEARING $10 billion a year are 2 different leagues. If you have been clearing $10 billion a year much of your life then it would be logical to put that person's wealth at $100 billion + and perhaps an easy $200 billion or more.

So If I know of someone who clears that much, imagine how much some other people make. 20 billion a year, 40 billion a year?

Or do you think I am nuts?
