More Billionaire Mogul Tidbits

 

I've examined the 2008 Forbes Billionaire list just a little further. And I have a few additional observations to point out:

  • There are a total of 1,062 Billionaire Moguls

  • The richest Billionaire Mogul is Warren Buffet with $62 billion

  • The poorest Billionaire Mogul is ... there are several tied for position 1,062 with $1 billion.

  • By the way, there is clearly no such thing as a poor Billionaire Mogul ... it's all relative!

  • Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is the only pure Billionaire Mogul Author, tied at position 1,062

  • Stars Wars dude George Lucas is a Billionaire Mogul Jedi. He holds position 277 with $3.9 billion ... the force is with him!

  • Billionaire Mogul Oprah Winfrey hit spot 462 with $2.5 billion

  • The oldest Billionaire Mogul for which an age is listed is 99 - John Simplot, $3.8 billion. He proves that you're never too old to be a Mogul!

  • The youngest Billionaire Mogul is 23 - Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, $1.5 billion. He proves that any Billionaire Mogul wannabee over 35 years old has clearly been slacking!

  • American Billionaire Moguls captured 4 of the top 20 spots and 22 of the top 50

  • Put another way, non-American Billionaire Moguls captured 16 of the top 20 spots and 28 of the top 50

  • 7 of the 10 on the youngest Billionaire Mogul list inherited their billionaire status ... that's 70% for you math challenged moguls

  • Donald Trump, Your absolute favorite Billionaire Mogul celebrity, placed at number 368 with $3 billion.

I wonder how the Trumpster would do on a Billionaire Mogul Apprentice show, say headed up by Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Carlos Helu. The lower billionaires would compete head-to-head for a top prize. Great idea!

  • The top American city for Billionaire Moguls is New York with 71 billionaires and an average net worth of $3.3 billion

  • The top non-American city for Billionaire Moguls is Moscow with 74 billionaires and an average net worth of $5.9 billion. That's right, Moscow!!! Who knew that Communism could be so damned profitable!

Well that's it for now. I'm sure you'll come up with your own list of observations. And if you do, I'd like to hear about it.

In the meantime, Live long ... and prosper like a Billionaire Mogul!
