are placed in this order. You could make some comparison of last year’s list
and know if they have done something to expand their acquisition of
material possessions and other assets. Nonetheless, the fact that they
have achieved so much wealth would really pop your eye and would even
wish that somehow, even a percent of their wealth, would be enough to
make you live comfortably, below is the list of richest people in the world 2012
