According to Forbes, there are exactly 1062 people in the world who are Billionaires. That is they have a net worth of at least 1 Billion dollars. Of course with a rapid drop of the value of a dollar, that number may actually increase. LOL
What really makes this interesting is that Forbes has compiled a complete list of those people and also added links to short bios of each of them. There is a lot of good and very interesting information in that list.
Did you know that the second richest man in the world is actually from Mexico? Or that of the top five richest men in the world, two are from the US and two are from India? Or how about the age of the youngest billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg. He’s only 23! The oldest Billionaire is 99. So there is quite a difference.

Oh, and if you are interested in inflation, check my post from last year on the inflation calculator.
