“The Richest” daily list

Forbes magazine, which keeps track of everyone (it’s a lot of gossip), has just published a list of the 10 richest people in the world.

(And women too, the list is headed by Frenchwoman Françoise Bettencourt, the sole heiress of her parents, owners of the L’Oréal beauty product brand).

Among the richest people in the world, there is a greater presence of children who started changing the world through technology. They are Microsoft, the masters of technological development through cell phones, which changed the universe by creating a variety of platforms called “social networks”.

Through it, we are now all on the network with accounts on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and we communicate through WhatsApp, which is also a telephone.

Now at number one is Elon Musk, a South African man who seems to be a genius and came to the United States at the age of 17. They have three parent companies: Tesla, which makes electric cars, a rocket company for space, and now they added Twitter and changed the name to X. His net worth is Rs 2,513 billion and he is 52 years old.

Next comes a Frenchman named Bernard Arnaut, who is 74 years old and worth 200 billion. He owns famous luxury items like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Tiffany.

At number three is Jeff Bezos of Amazon with 168 billion and 59 years of age. 4th is Larry Ellison of Oracle, 135 billion and 79 years old.. 5th. Just 39 years old and worth 1.25 billion, Mark Zuckerberg is the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

And who are the richest men in sports, are they close or far from these figures?

The first place is held by Michael Jordan with more than 3 billion, Tiger Woods with 2.5 billion, Arnold Palmer (golfer) with 1.7 thousand, Jack Nicklaus (golfer) with 1.6 billion, Cristiano Ronaldo with 1.5 billion, LeBron James with 1.5 billion and Lionel Messi with 1.4 billion. ,

The last 3 places are occupied by Floyd Mayweather Jr. at 1.4 billion, Roger Federer and golfer Phil Mickelson at 1.3 billion.

It’s easy to guess that there is a huge gap between the two scenarios, but athletes have made a lot of money based on talent and dedication.

Who are the Dominicans who have amassed the most wealth? They’re from the MLB and the NBA, and we’ll see that next time.

A little more:

-Among the ten richest people in the world is Mr. Steve Ballmer, who has a net worth of Rs 112 billion and is 67 years old. He is one of the founders of Microsoft, and is associated with sports. In 2014, when he separated from Bill Gates, he bought the Los Angeles Clippers NBA team for an amount of 2 billion. Now, 9 years later, that club is valued at US$4.68 billion.

By the way, Bill Gates is in sixth place. Ranked with 119 million and 68 years of age.. and famous investor Warren Buffett is at 7th position. With 118 billion and 93 years of age. Of all of them, he is the one who has practiced simple living and humility the most.

– As for athletes and sportsmen, it is worth saying that a large part of their fortune consists of good sums earned through advertising contracts, which does not matter for businessmen.

This is the case of world leader Michael Jordan and the famous tennis brand Nike for a long time.

In recent times, two of these ultra-rich gentlemen, Gates and Buffett, have been hit by divorce, and their spouses have naturally inherited huge amounts of money.

All these rich people also dedicate a large part of their wealth to charity, research and special support to universities. Their universe is completely different from that of ordinary people.

What to do with so much money? Give it where it’s worth.
