Australia's
richest people have lost billions over the
past 12 months just like the rich around
the world. The list of 200 rich Aussies

Forbes
announced their list of the forty richest
businesspeople in Australia for 2009. The
top 40 richest Australians list from last
year (which included New Zealand) had a
total net worth of $61.5 billion which dropped
to $33.7 billion in 2009. Had this years
list included New Zealand, the top 40 would
have included a few Kiwis and would have
pushed the total net worth up to $40 billion.

net worth of $280 million and James Packer,
this year's richest Australian, topped the
list with $3.1 billion in net worth.

Billionaires Review 2009 |
Americans
dominated the billionaire list this year,
carrying 45% of the list's slots and holding
44% of the wealth on the Forbes list. Economic
declines in the last part of 2008 are partially
to blame for the decline in both wealth
and number of billionaires on the March
list with some individuals losing 50% or
more of their net worth over the last 12
months. Overall, the collective net worth
of the richest people is estimated around
$2.4 trillion, a whole $2 trillion lower
than last year's list.

Richest People 2008
List
of the Richest Chinese People in 2008 |
China
had a booming industry in 2007 and its wealthy
residents amassed billions of dollars in
fortunes. 2008, however, has turned out
to be less than ideal for China's elite
and Forbes recent list of China's top 400
richest people reflects just how much the
global economy is affecting them. The estimated
combined net worth of China's 400 in 2008
was $173 billion, over $100 billion less
than the previous year. Losses and drops
in assets are blamed on the recent 60% drop
in mainland stocks combined with a 50% decline
in shares in Hong Kong.

Jacobs Road to Success Guide |
At
some point in most people’s lives comes
a realization that the dreams of youth and
more sober aspirations of early adulthood
may never come to pass. A childhood fantasy
to become a famous movie star, a teenage
obsession to excel on the athletic field,
or a young worker’s aspiration to be
a millionaire, are among the hopes that
remain a distant vision. But as years pass
and illusions fade, each of us must come
to terms with the success we achieve—or

Develop
a Prosperity Consciousness
Brian
Tracy Prosperity Consciousness Article |
The
starting point of all riches is the development
of a prosperity consciousness. You must
become a financial success in your thinking
long before you achieve it in your reality.
Both poverty and riches are the result of
a state of mind, and the most important
single step you ever take on the road to
wealth and financial independence is the
decision to change your thinking, to impress
into your mind an unshakable belief that
you can and will achieve your financial
goals.

The
Definition of Wealth
Brian
Tracy Becoming Wealthy Article |
If
you want to be wealthy, you must understand
what wealth is. Here is the best definition
of wealth you will ever find. Wealth is
"Cash flow from other sources."
What this means is that, you are not wealthy
just because you earn a lot of money. You
are only wealthy when your money works for
you. To become wealthy, your main job is
to acquire money and then put it to work
making more money for you.

That is unfortunate however, because there

In fact, I believe greatly in the power
