Of course we want to know who the richest people in the world are!
It’s interesting to find out how they earned their treasure , if they
seem happy and most importantly, how is it that they keep the money
coming their way. Certainly, one has much to learn by looking upon their
lives. This is the top 10 richest persons in the world.
First in our top is mexican Carlos Slim Helu who recently has increased his wealth with around 20.5 billion USD which puts it all together to an astonishing amount of more than 74 billions, more than any other rich person in the world. The telecommunication mogul obtains 62% of all his wealth from America Movil. Despite being the richest he says that the most valuable things in life are the ones you receive for free like a smile, a kind word, family’s happiness.
2.Bill Gates
Microsoft’s founder has added the modest amount of 3 billion USD to his wealth last year, considerably much less than our previous contender. His wealth is estimated to be around 56 billion USD. Despite being Microsoft’s founder and mostly being associated with it, around 70% of this wealth actually comes from investments outside Microsoft such as the mexican capital market.
The world’s most successful investor, known by his nickname the “oracle of omaha” is the primary shareholder, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Despite his immense wealth he lives quite a normal life living in the same house he bought over 50 years ago, he drives his own car and doesn’t have a bodyguard. Known for his dedication to philanthropy, he pledged to give away 99% of his 50 billion USD fortune.
4. Bernard Arnault
This is the man who runs LVMH, the company behind many luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi and also the richest man in Europe with a fortune of 41 billion. Having been dubbed by Women’s Wear Daily as the “pope of fashion” his key ingredients for success appear to be defining a brand’s identity based on its long history and finding the right designer to express it followed by a strong grip on quality control and distribution, all sustained by strong marketing ideas.
5. Larry Ellison
Oracle’s CEO and number 5 in our top with a wealth of 39.5 billion USD reminds us that focusing yourself on profit, even though will not win you over many friends, is the tested method through you can advance.
