Amazing how Sam Walton's heirs split his cash and they still take 5
spots. If he had only had one kid who got it all, I wonder where he or she would
be on the chart...

Well Gates is

#2 but guessing it is the founder of Cisco. Here is what surprised me, #3. The
founder of ALDI, the discount food chain here in USA. Barebones, you have to

bags (or buy for 5-10 cents each, paper or plastic), bag your own groceries,
no credit cards or checks accepted, cash or debit card only. No "short" line
either, if buying only a few items you have to wait behind people with huge
carts full of stuff. But lines move fast. ALDI very big in Germany, here is

RE: [SWCollect] Richest people in the world
Nope dont think so. :/ John Chambers is around $200 million, nowhere close. -josh Are you maybe thinking of Larry Ellison of Oracle? He is around $19 billion and has always had a rivalry with Gates but has never surpassed him (not even close). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Richest people in the world In a message dated 03/16/2004 11:36:04 AM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 1) Bill Gates - microsoft 2) Warren Buffet - investments 3) Karl Albrecht retailing (supermarkets) Wonder what happened to Cisco guy, I think he passed Gates at one time?

I swear someone passed Gates for a short time once, thought it was him, maybe when ORCL stock was WAY up there?
