Steve Wynne didnt crack the top 19 and Kirk Kerkorian & Sheldon Adleson did? The Mars family is loaded. I drive by one of their houses in Nova and its HUUGGGGEEE!! who would have ever thought candy bars would make sooo much money!
Who would have ever thought that selling Chinese crap would make you the richest family?
Oh wait it is America, it makes total sense.
Step 1 Buy Chinese crap.
Step 2 Bitch about how you can’t get a good job.
Step 3 Congratulations are now officially an American.
whatever, I am the 270,000,000th richest american so they aint got shit on me
It’s amazing the stories of how many of these people either quit school or never attended and made it happen, that is what I love about America.
Right place, right time, right idea. Dollar and a dream.
Street smarts > school
What would all of you do with over a billion dollars?
I can’t figure out what I would do. I guess I would have a lot of nice cars/boats/other toys and just live in a huge mansion with all of my friends and family over. What ever is left, figure out something good(charitable) to do with it.

I like Paul Allen’s story. He got stupid rich via founding Microsoft and has been having fun tossing it around ever since.

4/22 are Wal-Mart heirs. :bloated:
9/22 inherited their businesses/fortunes
kinda makes you sick to see how some of these people made BILLIONS off of ideas that are so simple
Naw they’ve earned it. Any idiot can come up with a good idea. It takes someone flipping brilliant to turn that idea into a billion dollar business. Bill Gates isn’t filthy wealthy because the code he wrote for the Tandy was so great, he’s rich because he’s a brilliant business man.
