Careers and Jobs

Well Bill Gates is no longer No1 richest man on the planet. He has been overtaken by Warren Buffet. Below are some of the findings by Forbes List of the world’s top billionaires. These guys have more money than some small countries.

1. $62bn Warren Buffet – American Investor
2. $60bn Carlos Slim Helum – Mexican Telecoms Guru
3. $58bn Bill Gates – Microsoft.

Six Irish made the list. Leading the list was Sean Quinn with $6bn and others include Denis O’Brien, Dermot Desmond, Sir Anthony O’Reilly, John Dorrance and Mr Mistrum. I guess the Celtic Tiger has been good to the Irish after all.

The youngest pretender of the list is of course – Mr Facebook.
