Looks like Wal-mart is out. Last year 5 of their family members were in the top 10 richest people in the world.

This year there is only one and he is at #10. I guess the Urbanites stopped shopping there and have gone off to Target!

Forbes top 10

William Gates III
Warren Buffett
Lakshmi Mittal
Carlos Slim Helu
Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud
Ingvar Kamprad
Paul Allen
Karl Albrecht
Lawrence Ellison
S Robson Walton

One of the Wal-Mart sons died this year. All combined there are 5 Walton families with $10 to $20 Billion each.

I forgot about that.. he died in a plane crash.

The Forbes list isn't very accurate. I remember them saying JK Rowling was worth a billion but she said they were dead wrong and didn't know where they came up with that #. Donald Trump also complained about the inaccuracies of this list. Basically they just guess by looking at a person's assets much like me and you would do and just come up with a #

William Gates III is holding strong on the top.

It's the best we have.

Instead of coming to us with the problem..why not provide the solution?

Where can we get a more accurate reading?

no, i'm not saying i have the answers or there are better sources, i'm just saying people tend to use Forbes like the dictionary when they should be looking at it like Alexa ranking,
