World Richest Man And Woman In 2011
Quote of the Day: As long as you're going to be thinking anyway, think big.
Who is the top 100 richest man in the world in 2011?
According to Forbes magazine, below is a list of top 100 richest man and woman in the world in 2011.
Amazingly, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are still taking the number two and three position respectively after donating billion of dollars to charity. My favorite tycoon is Hong Kong Li Ka-Shing who occupied number eleven spot.
All of them are billionaires, not just multi-millionaires, with the last 100 position Cheng Yu-tung having a networth of $9b. Whow!
Ever wonder why they are so rich and successful? Most of them run big business and own huge amount of real estates. All of them don’t work in a job. What does that tell you? If you work in a job, you will never be ultra rich like them.
Most importantly, they have the right mindset and reality to allow them to achieve what they are today. How do the rich think? Find out the secrets in the video at http://www.yewhengchiong.com/forgottenlaw/
