Finally somebody has more $ then Donald Trump!
Actually Gates has been the richest man in the world for a number of years now and Trump does not figure in the top ten for the richest people in America. He still a billionaire though who loves to flaunt himself on TV more than others.
I was astounded that besides the Gulf, omly Lebanon and Egypt has billionaires. Who are they kidding? I am sure that half the politicians in the Arab world are billionaires, but they know how they obtained the money so they never declare their networth.
