Richest Pets in the World
There are people who leave their all to their pets – their pets were the thing they loved most and possibly they were the people that their pets loved most in the world – unstinting, unconditional and unreserved love the variety of which it is difficult to find in human relationships. So certainly there is a reason why pets can be very, very dear to a person, particularly if they don’t have any nice relatives.
But it always occurred to me; what is a pet to do with all that money and so I am constrained to ask the owner – WHAT were you thinking!
There are different estimates about who is the richest pet in the world and a latest report published about the richest pets in the world spoke of a German Shepherd, called Gunther IV who inherited $372 million, from his father Gunther III, who made it rich after his owner Countess Karlotta Libenstein of Germany passed away.
Bill Gates – Microsoft Corporation. Arguably the one person who has changed the way we work, communicate, use technology. He started Microsoft in 1975 and launched Windows in 1985 and has never looked back after that. There isn’t a home or office today that doesn’t have some reliance on this global behemoth Microsoft, that has made Gates the owner of a $52 billion fortune, a lot of which, it must be said, he seems intent on giving away.
Lawrence J (Larry) Ellison cofounder and CEO of Oracle Corporation, the computer software giant, enjoys a total compensation upward of 130 million dollars a year. Salary bonus and other compensations make up about 6 million of that with more than $124 million coming from stock gains.
One of the most fascinating stories in international finance currently is that of the Ambani Brothers, Mukesh and Anil, from India. Theirs is a sweeping family saga spiced with money, ambition, avarice and sibling rivalry which is keeping the financial markets not only of India but the world over riveted. These two men are among the richest in the world, with vast business holdings, enormous riches and tremendous clout in the financial markets of the world. If one sneezes, the Indian stock market catches cold!
TV Guide however, has
Rather predictably, the top, most powerful celebrity is Oprah Winfrey, in terms of pay, web rank, press rank and TV/radio rank. With her daytime talk show, satellite radio show, magazine and Broadway musical the media queen is the most influential and powerful celeb around.
So the new title bearer for the ‘richest man in the world’ is Warren Buffet, investor, businessman and philanthropist with a personal fortune of $62.0 billion. Buffet, incidentally, often plays bridge with Bill Gates; birds of a feather, it would seem, play bridge together. He is known as much for his personal frugality as for his immense wealth.
