The 8 Richest Men In The World

It isn't up to me to begrudge innovators who have accumulated vast amounts of wealth. God bless them I say especially if they do good with it. For as Jesus said, "It is easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than it is to get into heaven".

The richest and most influential power brokers in(aka politicians) are meeting in Davos, Switzerland this week for meetings. Would it be sensational to be a fly on the wall.

Gander at the list of the 8 richest men in the world. These guys have more money combined than half the people on earth.

• Microsoft founder Bill Gates, $75 billion
• Spanish retail magnate Amancio Ortega, $67 billion 
• American investor Warren Buffett, $60.8 billion
• Mexican investor Carlos Slim Helu, $50 billion
• Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, $45.2 billion 
• Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, $44.6 billion
• Oracle founder Larry Ellison, $43.6 billion 
• Media mogul Michael Bloomberg, $40 billion  

Does anything jump out at you? Yes, Bill Gates does have a number of world wide charities he supports. He also is a strong proponent of abortion so automatically he's down to the bottom on my list.

Ponder this: Each of them is a hardcore Lefty Liberal. So, what's all the hubbub about Republicans and their Wall Street money controlling our government. I'm surprised George Soros isn't to be shown but I'm guessing he isn't too far behind in the wealth category.
