Australia's
richest people have lost billions over the

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.

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.

China's
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.

Fictional Characters Review |
Both
Carlos Slim and Scrooge McDuck have had
extremely profitable years in 2007. The
former because of the surging share price
of his massive share holdings and the latter
because of the surging price of gold. The
wealthy duck has hoarded all of his ever
growing pile of gold coins and bullion and
now has an estimated net worth of $28.8
billion. His strategy of buying and hoarding
has paid off, with an almost threefold increase
in wealth over the past year, and the title
of the richest fictional character from
the Forbes business magazine.
