Sure, there is one in my country. Every one here calls this rich man Uncle Lim. He owns the only casin in my country. His casino "genting, city of entertainment" is the third biggest casino in the world. He came from china as a poor guy about 70 years ago. He's not yet out of his teens that time. He worked harder to accumulate money to start small business and big business. When he got money he bought lands on a mountain to start a casino. After several years of tough times the casino finally developed into a splendid city of entertainment.

Bill Gates- founder of Microsoft. The man is the richest person in the world.
The Walmart family - all thnaks to their father Sam Walmart who created Walmart stores and Sam's Wholesale clubs.
My Late Great Uncle - Owned several gas stations, he even cut his own hair, owned a car that was 3 differnet colors and was funny as all get out. But the man was a millionair.
But then you get people who have so much money, that they spend it all. I've heard of people who have won the lottery and are in worse financial shape becasue the spen more then they won. So just becasue you have a ton, does not always mean it it endless or it will make you happy.

I agree, we need to be good finaical planners. But my problem is sometime my wife does not see the big picture when it comes to our finances. Trust me we've had plenty of talks about it as well...

In India, Mr. Kumarmangalal Birla, Mr. Mukesh & Anil Ambani, Mr. Ajeemji Premjee, Mr. Ratan Tata, Wadia brothers are the richest person here. They have industries within india and abroad also. They are also paying good salary to thier employees. They come under fast growing enterprenurers. Adding too much to India's economy.

Another famous filipino who's story was from rags-to-riches is, filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao. He became rich because of his famous fights and winnings, to say that he's only a high school drop-out. His story is an inspiration for all of us filipinos, to persevere more for life and aim for our common goals.

That means everyone get the chances to be rich no matter in what way.

Well, in Serbia there are lots of people who are rich and lots of poor people. Rich people are usually bussinesmans but they are often connected with criminal activities. So it's hard to tell who got rich doing bussines without breaking any law. Last 15 years were very hard for Serbia and smuglers and similar people got rich over night and there are lots of examples of this. But, there are only few families who are very, very, very rich! And most of them are wanted in Hague! :)
Greetz!

There are a load of rich peopel in the UK but ones that do spring to mind are Sir Richard Branson and Sir Alan Sugar
Reason why i quote these guys is i think they are really good ambassadors for entrepeneurs who want to start up in business and want to makeit bigtime

I know richard branson. he owns virgin atlantic, he is a smart guys who like to be creative, that is why he is so rich..he does something which other people do not want to take risks.
In fact ,the name vigun came from the meaning that he always does something with no prior experience..

There's 2 ways to become rich,
You're either smart or slick!
WIth your intelligence you should be able to figure out a way to make easy money.
With your slickness you could risk everything and maybe even do something ilegal and get away with it.
The oldskool way of hard working and long term saving and investing.
Which one are you? or do you wanna be?
I know I'll never be happy with the third one.
I'm a Everything or Nothing kinda person :P
