Do you know who the top 10 richest people are?

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

$16.7 Billion I believe.

And Warren Buffet isn't right behind him?

wow. a very good company to be part of.

I'm sure they have more than enough money

I thought Paul Allen was closer to 3 or 4..

1 & 2 are still the same.
