Asia and Australia's richest people list. What's interesting is that in the top 100 worldwide, no Japanese person made the top 100 list. The Japanese economy has been stagnant for much of the 90s and has picked up slightly in recent times. The top 10 riches people in the world are: # William Gates # Warren Buffett # Carlos Slim Helú # Ingvar Kamprad # Lakshmi Mittal # Paul Allen # Bernard Arnault # Prince Alwaleed # Kenneth Thomson # Li Ka-shing |

Warren Buffet is the master of stocks and stuff.
Paul Allen is Bill's partner. Li Ka-shing controls HK's ships, ports and just pretty much HK. |
