Billionaire list

[Dragons Teeth]

Quote from maxpi:

There was a South American guy that was called "El Indio" [The Indian] that had $5 billion way back in the day, the mid '70's.. I think he slipped quietly into the fog of history without anybody knowing his real name even.. that's my kind of Billionaire... I wonder where he is today?

That might have been Bartolomé García Correa if so he snuffed it in 1978

They make most of their paper wealth on wall street. and wall street is nothing but gov't welfare program these days. they owe their wealth to the country and the working class people who actually do the work and pay the taxes

very disturbing that the GOVERMENT is the ultimately market manipulator. i mean if this was a group of individuals they;ll be jail. gov't hyprocrisy..less gov't is better gov't americans haven't lived in iran or other countries controls what you do think etc. China is gov't central command economy. and gov't controls everything include what you read etc.

in iran and afghanistan the gov't controls the religion you worship too. state religion. isn't paulson treasuray secretary and buffet connected with every [bank president in goldman sachs..buffet is hedge fund and private equity and his berkshire is private company.
and the reason buffet has lot of cash is he needs the cash or working cash or cash for withdrawals for clients. or cash for trading
