Only 4 Americans left on Forbes's billionaire list

Americas biggest export are jobs (wealth).

A close second is technological know-how.

This helps all the little Chinese and Indians get rich off from our accumulated R&D.

Point of fact - most outsourcing agreements (ie contract manufacturing) transfer technology to foreigners - forever - in exchange for cheap product.

American Corporations haven given away jobs and technology for money.

Very savvy.
 
But, hey. Look on the bright side.

In about 50 years or so, when the Chinese have built a viable consumer economy from the torn flesh of our own, they'll buy from us.

Because then we'll be the New China (dirt poor) and they'll be rich. Brilliant!
 
I bet the Rothschilds always get a laugh out of these lists

And Marc Rich and the rockefeller.
this kind of list is just for entertainment.
 
many billionaires avoid publicity.

the guys on forbes list are normally the publicity hounds.

It's a very poor representation of reality.
