Just need some more funds for tht Ferrari 355 :-)

Don't want to be part of any top 50 list. It would be a pathetic life - too many problems.

Hey Jauntie, i guess you've replied to Gypsy's query, however the man in question, Adnan Khashoggi, is a Saudi Arms dealer and businessman. No idea on his net worth

Actually, Carlos slim is a Mexican. His dad was from Lebanon. and also he is the richest guy in the planet earth.

FYI.

Carlos Slim Helu listing is credited to Mexico and not to any Arab state - he is of lebanese origin. Industry - telecommunications.

There are other Arab billionaires not in the list who have a greater net worth than the number 3 Al Rajhi. I wonder why. I'll list them down as under in order of higher networth

Naguib Sawiris Country : Egypt

Mohammed Al Amoudi Country : Saudi Arabia/Ehtiopia

Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair and family Country : United Arab Emirates

Maan Al-Sanea Country : Saudi Arabia

And then you have your number 3 man in your list

Sulaiman Al Rajhi Country : Saudi Arabia

I'm watching students writing a quiz. I wonder if any of these (or the many others I have taught) have parents who are on this list. It would be interesting to see how many housemaids or cars they have.

My wife worked in a place where a customer there had 40 housemaids/cleaners/drivers/etc. Now that's living!
