Billion Dollar Losers
March’s edition of Forbe’s has a special on the world’s billionaires. I rember reading back in 2007 how the riches men and woman made billions that year. Now it is a different story. It is estimated the Carlos Slim Helu and Warren Buffett both lost $25 billion invidivually, and Bill Gates has lost an additional $18. Last year the world had 1,125 billionaries. Today there are 793 and $1.4 trillion has simply disappeared. Here are some other billion dollar losers: Anil Ambani, Lakshmi Mittal, Kushal Pal Singh, Oleg Deripaska, Mukesh Ambani, and Sheldon Adelson.
