There is a new billionaire list by forbes. There are 793 people on the list. It's an all time high. Check it out.

I noticed there were no billionaires from New Zealand. Busy and Renagade, get your butt in gear, you guys could be the first Wink

Is a billion a 100 million or a 1000 million ?

Problem with our rich folk, once they get discovered they all bugger off overseas and become residents there

They may not move to a particular country, but what they often do is to move their assets to countries that do not tax at all.

what kind of an asshole needs a billion dollars? surely any more that 3 million is just pure greed. that's 97 million dollars that should be helping poor people or researching medicine imporvements etc.

They do help poor people, they have no choice. Bill Gates for example gives millions to charity a year for tax write off otherwise he is penalised for having so much. stupid thing is he can claim the dontation back on tax - wheres the justice in that

A billion dollars would be nice, but I think I would be content with one million.
