Lista dos mais ricos do mundo segundo a Forbes. Evocação de Albert Cossery

Bill Gates
Warren Buffett
Carlos Slim The richest people in the world have gotten poorer, just like the rest of us. This year the world's billionaires have an average net worth of $3 billion, down 23% in 12 months. The world now has 793 billionaires, down from 1,125 a year ago. After slipping in recent years, the U.S. is regaining its dominance as a repository of wealth. Americans account for 44% of the money and 45% of the list's slots, up seven and three percentage points from last year, respectively. Bill Gates lost $18 billion but regained his title as the world's richest man. Warren Buffett, last year's No. 1, saw his fortune decline $25 billion as shares of Berkshire Hathaway fell nearly 50% in 12 months. Mexican telecom titan Carlos Slim Helú maintains his spot in the top three but lost $25 billion.

Nunca desejei ter um belo carro ou qualquer outra coisa a não ser eu mesmo. Posso ir para a rua com as mãos nos bolsos e sinto-me um príncipe.
