BTW, re your "traceability" issue, the Forbes list is interesting because they do NOT take the word of the people claiming to be billionaires. They do their own research, and include only those who can be proved to have at least a billion dollars in assets. They left Donald Trump off the list several years because of this very thing -- his claims couldn't be backed up. The most fascinating thing I find about the list is that there are several of the world's billionaires -- mainly from old money -- that they cannot find a photograph of. In my book, that shows incredible wisdom on the part of those people. No one knows what they look like, so they can go wherever they want and do whatever they want with- out the need for bodyguards and paranoia that often goes along with having that amount of money.
