Sukhumvit_Farang Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I looked up and down that list three times - and yet again I didn't find my name on it. Damn. Oh, well - maybe next year. Now if there would be a list, not of billionaires, but of the "Billion Richest People in the World", well, I might just manage to make that one. On second thought, better make it the "Forbes Richest Five Billion". I'd definitely be on that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
