  Its a blessing that you are rich.What should i do to be rich like you because am a poor Ugandan with a diploma in social work and no work at all though with love for any job. Could you please in any way.God bless

• 25. Ade ola  |  April 7, 2008 at 2:07 pm

  Shame on Warren buffelt what is he doing to help the poorest man in the world

• 26. Estoy Feliz  |  April 7, 2008 at 9:13 pm

  Shame on these lazy bastards asking for money, without trying themselves. Most people on this list are self-made billionaires, they worked their own sweat off to build what they aquired.

• 27. JACOB OFORI  |  April 8, 2008 at 3:39 pm

  Ok, i think i am the richest man on earth now but nobody seems to notice this but i am want the whole world to know they are mistaken if they think Bill Gate is the richest man in the World……….. Though i have nothing to show for it now but i know i am the Richest man in the world and the whole world must hear of this

• 28. Kelvin KM  |  April 12, 2008 at 9:39 pm

  Don’t insult. They may have tried also and they may be trying! I have tried to do my best except my best is not yet good enough. Worked as a volunteer for UN for a year nd all I could manage was enough for an Airticket from Zambia to USA. Getting married to an American in two weeks. I have no many for a honeymoon. I just wish I had money, or even able to borrow some to make the occasion memorable! but such is life…

• 29. daviedaniels  |  April 12, 2008 at 9:59 pm

  i hate people who ask too much from the rich. they also have problems to solve. take a look at bill gates who shifted to position three. lets give them a break ant time to take their breath.

  secondly i want to start personal business, so please may i get tips from those rich guys if it is possible.

• 30. emeka  |  April 14, 2008 at 2:05 pm

  wat do they gain by being d richest?why not spend humanity by being more of a philanthropist.i really need help for my heart and lungs.pls let one of u respond.Thanks and God bless.

• 31. emeka  |  April 14, 2008 at 2:20 pm

  why say shame 2 those who are pleading 4 help.if u think u can why not try helping.lots of people are going through hell just to make ends meet and u sit there and rain abuses on them,well shame on you 2

• 32. ahmed shola  |  April 15, 2008 at 7:23 pm

  i really believe one day, i will be on the list of the richest men in the world

• 33. George Iroha  |  April 20, 2008 at 4:44 pm

  I believe all wealth made is for a purpose, either to help the poor or to change your society. The richest man on planet earth that has not redefined his purpose on earth is poorer than the poorest man on earth.

• 34. Gen. Ndy Dan  |  April 21, 2008 at 3:39 pm

  Bravo to u guys. But be on guard cos i am going to overtake all of you in no time. Also the true networth of a man is his ability to put a smile on the faces of the poor around the world and not just being a billionaire on paper.The world is looking for Billionaires of impact.

• 35. olusola samuel  |  April 29, 2008 at 1:18 am

  anytime i read rich guys biographies it always challenge me to move higher in life and i admire their lifestyle.

• 37. Ezugwu Christian  |  May 1, 2008 at 10:03 pm

  I beleive in integrity and uprigthness. Even though, a Nigerian was not included in your list. I have this strong believe that we have people who can be included in the world richest men. Apart from my strong opinion, i’ve great respect for you list. Irrespective of the fact that we’ve some credible rich Nigerians. Scrutinise their source of income before you include them in your list.

  Thank you.

• 38. uwazuruonye chijoke  |  May 8, 2008 at 1:52 pm

  being a rich man is the personal achievement of abled determined individuals who go beyond all barriers to make their wealth and i will hope my god will make me one

  BRINGING TO YOUR NOTICE
  Its nice to bring to your notice that most of us here are still poor.
  well,i love seen the rich that always motivatye me to work had,some of us were oportuned to have some inherited wealth while others are still languishing in penury of poverty.its not our falt.
  Let the rich spreed the wealth to make the world a better place and a crime free global village for all of us.

  Teach me in knowing how to know,and spreed the hand of wealth to us.

  This is my wold.

  What does it profit a man that wins the whole world and loses his Soul. It is not enough to be the world richest but be Born Again and be a part of the eternal life

• 43. prempeh  |  May 17, 2008 at 4:07 pm

  I think these rich men should be teaching young people especially those of us in Africa what do to be like them. I think we learn a lot from them.

  for this guys that has made it, have you heard about those people that held this position before, how they died, where would the money be? that is to show that if you are happy, you are richer than them. you have whot it takes to be richer than bill gate, just sticked to your passion. they all did in their, chosen field. you are not poor, until you think you are, you are just someone waiting for an opportunity to launch yourself. just keep the focus, be determined, and open minded, you will see in no time, you will be richer than you could ever imagine. yuo are simply unique. dont try to be anybody be yourself, thats where the wealth ls. ay2rock@yahoo.com

• 49. Lawrence Muchiri  |  May 30, 2008 at 12:02 pm

  HI,
  It good to be rich,everyone could wish to be rich and this is why we struggle day by day.All the richness comes from God and therefore for these richest please for you to feel your richness it is should be transmitted to others e.g through assistance to the less able inorder for them also to go a step a head.

  for me i know am not rich and that is why i am majoring in my education,i call upon anyone willing to help me achieve what i want through financial assistance so that later on i can also help others and also become amongest the richest.

• 51. Tunde Olaleye  |  June 2, 2008 at 10:58 am

  These rich men and women are self made individuals who have struggled up the ladder of progress and have climbed on the shoulders of those who have obtained to get to there position now. Surely, the same can’t be said of our African leaders. They have trampled on their people, squandered and stolen their nations’ wealth. These African “leaders” can’t come out in the open to tell us how they made it.

• 52. maxi  |  June 4, 2008 at 9:14 am

• 54. ikwong daniel  |  June 9, 2008 at 7:11 pm

  its nice to know that people can rich to the extent that they have to be ranked the most richest. i dont envy them, rather i see it as a challenge to work harder so i can live a comforttable life and imact positively to my society. of all the richest, i see bill gates as an inspiration to me, he defied all odds to be who he is today, so its not all been the richest, its all about impacting something that will print your name in sands of time.

  Mr WARREN BUFFET ,Mr CARLOS SLIM HELU and Mr BILL GATES you all are representing what GOD can do ,yes your guys leaders in your fields i thank GOD for the blessing he gave you and your families,keep the job cos it is not the end of the fight.
  but on the other side good opportunities like that only come to you in America and EUrope ,i Africa we are too much controled by the politician ,like in my country everything is politic so if you talented you could end up a slum cos the y do not want real business men independant.
  i a from the republic of GABON our country is very rich but the population is poor ,10 percent of the people of the country controile and belong everything in the country.
  i hazve been doing things but no progress cois i am in a controled country dictators,corruption .
  my name isd nkombengnondo christian go to google and type my name and you will see what i have been trying to do by myself now i need your help to show to all my country ,my continent and the world what i can do.
