The Next Generation of Young Billionaires...
2008-08-20 23:33:00 http://hipcandy.blogspot.com/20-08/08/next-generation-of-young--billionaires.htmlPotential billionaires are getting younger as evidenced by Tyler Perry and Tiger Woods..When 32-year-old Tiger Woods returns to the links from a knee injury, he'll continue a financial rise that could crown him the first billionaire to make his money through sports. We predict it could happen as soon as 2011 because of Tiger's lucrative endorsement deals.The most recent Forbes Celebrity 100 list estimated that 38-year-old entertainer Tyler Perry banked $125 million last year. The talented Perry, who produces, directs and acts in his creations, earned more than Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise and Bon Jovi combined. Building a billion-dollar fortune in the entertainment business is extraordinarily rare but certainly not impossible, as evidenced by Steven Spielberg, worth an estimated $3 billion, and George Lucas, worth an estimated $3.9 billion.Read the rest of "Billionaires: The Next Generation" here.

SEVEN BILLIONAIRES IN OUTSOURCING
2008-05-31 01:14:00 Forbes has primed a list of seven outsourcing billionaires. These magnificent seven comes from two developing countries of the world, that is, Taiwan and India. Taiwan millionaires are into manufacturing, they are specialized in contract manufacturing with special emphasis in the production of electronics. However, Indian outsourcing leading lights provide services to the world. They are minting billions by exporting software and IT services. f you wonder, what made these people successful, Robert Kennedy, a professor at the University of Michigan Business School has an answer, "The economics behind offshoring are really compelling, and customers usually do it for three reasons--they want specialized firms, [they want] to cut costs, and [they want] access to talent or specialized skills." Lets take a look at the list Azim Premji: At age 21, Premji took over his family's cooking fat oil company. Since then, Wipro has become the No. 1 provi...

Legendary investor Warren Buffett, 77, still calls his humble digs in Omaha's Happy Hollow suburb home, despite a $62 billion fortune that eclipses the gross domestic products of Croatia and Jordan combined. That famous folksiness is, of course, in keeping with his investment philosophy. "If you don't feel comfortable owning something for 10 years," he once told a reporter, "then don't own it for 10 minutes." Of course, few billionaires live as simply and frugally as Buffett, who also professes a love for pub fare like burgers and Cherry Coke.

The Billionaires: Really Real for Forever
2008-04-03 04:45:00 The Billionaires: Really Real for ForeverThe five piece pop group, the Billionaires release their somewhat anticipated debut.Their sound is the perfect combination of the Rentals and Tilly and the Wall. They can be rambunctious but for the most part they are content making subdued pop music.That description paints the rosy picture. Unfortunately like most debut albums there are significant flaws. First off, lyrically their efforts are poor at best. When they make their more energetic tunes they seem to only be about doing drugs or drinking. Their more subdued songs fair better lyrically but sometimes drift into the dreamy pop territory that reminds me a little of Air. It's okay music, but it feels like it has no substance.In the end, although none of their songs are flawless, many of their songs are fun. If you can get past the lyrics, which most of you can I'm sure, the music is very pleasant.Rating: 6.3/10MP3: The Billionaires "Trophy Home"
Poor Billionaires
2008-04-01 20:21:00 Would you believe that a loaf of bread will cost you $10 millions? Yes this is true if you are living in Zimbabwe today. The rate of foreign exchange there today is US$ 1.00 is to $30,000 Zimbabwe Dollars. The country is pledged with super high uncontrollable inflation rate. The culprit is the government reformed that gave land to native African people from few white who preferred to live there after the British Government left the country which was known then as Southern Rhodesia as their colony. President Mugabe is the president for 28 years already and they have a presidential election today which indicates that his opponent will be declared the winner. Mutable won many times which were allegedly surrounded by fraud. Many Zimbabweans think that if Mugabe will be declared as winner, there will be an uprising which they said as a result of uprising seduction. Zimbabweans are known for being a peace loving people.

News: Poor Billionaires
2008-03-28 00:06:00 Zimbabwe's 100,000 percent inflation rate is the world's highest. While officially, one U.S dollar is worth about 30,000 Zimbabwean dollars. As of last week the real price on the black market was about 35 million dollars, or 1,166 times the official rate.The average wage for a farm worker is 30 million dollars per month. A domestic worker makes about five times that amount, and a laborer in one of Zimbabwe's decrepit factories can expect to earn as much as 300 million per month.It sounds good until you consider how much things cost. Four Coca-Colas cost about 20 million. A one-way bus ticket around town will set you back one of those 10 million dollar notes (and that price may go up even as you're on the bus). Ten kilograms (22 pounds) of corn meal, which might last a family of four two or three days, goes for 45 million. It's 7 million for less than a quarter pound of low-grade beef. A loaf of bread is 10 million.If you're a government worker you'll earn a monthly pension of...

The 2008 World's Billionaires
2008-03-07 20:09:00 What would you do with 1 million dollars? An even tougher question might be, what would you do with 1 Billion Dollars?!? Forbes magazine has released its latest issue on the billionaires of the world. Topping the list is the investment guru himself, Warren Buffet. Buffet is considered the world's richest man at 62 billion dollars of worth. According to Forbes, Buffet's net worth jumped about 10 billion in the past year. Last year's top billionaire was Microsoft founder, Mr. Bill Gates, who has slipped down to 3rd on the list after 13 years being named "world's richest". The man at number 2 is Carlos Slim Helú, a Mexican telecom tycoon who has amazingly doubled his worth to 60 bill in just 2 years.You may not recognize many Americans on the list below aside from Buffet, Gates and Larry Ellison. According to Forbes' writeup, just two years ago the list of top 20 billionaires was half Americans. Now it includes just 4 Americans in the top 20. Amazingly the number 2 coun...
The rise of Indian Billionaires?
2008-03-07 16:01:00 The most surprising news in Forbes?s latest Global Billionaire list isn?t that Bill Gates has been toppled as the world?s richest man. No, the biggest surprise is the rise of the Indian rich ? four of the top eight billionaires in the world are from India. Topping the ranks is steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, whose worth Forbes puts at $45 billion. Next up are the Ambani brothers, Mukesh and Anil, with $43 billion and $42 billion respectively, largely from petrochemicals. Rounding out the list is KP Singh, the real-estate magnate, at $30 billion. This is an encouraging sign for the Indian economy. It shows that a country long known for brutal poverty can now compete with the U.S. and others in creating personal wealth. The Merrill Lynch/Cap Gemini report says that India?s population of millionaires grew 20% last year, to about 100,000. That rate of growth was more than twice the growth of millionaires in the U.S.
Top 10 billionaires of world as per Forbes
2008-03-07 08:37:00 World leading magazine Forbes recently published the list of new billionaires of world. This list really provides many chances of joy for all Indians because there are four Indians in top ten billionaires of this list. This list clearly shows the increasing power of India in world map. This list includes four Indian billionaires Lakshmi Mittal (4th), Mukesh Ambani (5th), Anil Ambani (6th) and KP singh (8th). Ambani brothers of Reliance group are giving big fight to other billionaires of the world and there place could be much higher, if Indian stock market does not slipped few months back. Similarly, K P Singh of DLF group has also found place in this list thanks to ever increasing real estate rates in India. The major surprise in this list is Bill Gate losing his top position as world?s richest person after thirteen long years of holding it. Bill Gates is now 3rd richest person of world, as per this list. Warren Buffett of US, who has stake in number of businesses, is now world ric...

Musical Indonesian Billionaires Bet Oil Growth on Libya Gusher
2008-01-30 11:17:00 Panigoro, 52, head of Indonesia's largest publicly traded oil company, is a guitar virtuoso temporarily without his favorite instrument. So he walks across the living room, parks at a black Yamaha grand piano and plays a medley of pieces from memory that combines classical and jazz with a 1971 pop hit called ``If.'' These are mostly festive times at Medco Energi, the Jakarta-based company founded by Hilmi's older brother Arifin, 62. The Panigoros' assets top $1 billion, according to Hilmi. In a country that long thrived on the business savvy of ethnic Chinese, the brothers -- often seen wearing traditional batik shirts -- have made their mark as Indonesia's dominant ethnic- Indonesian entrepreneurs. Only three years ago, the Panigoros were struggling to regain control of Medco Energi after losing a majority stake amid the rippling aftershocks of the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Today, their fortunes are brighter, even in the face of sl...
Personal Finance QuickTake: Secret Billionaires
2008-01-29 22:33:00 When I think of secret Billionaires I think of Bruce Wayne, Not Susanne Klatten, Birgit Rausing or John Sall. But there are a ever growing grow of billionaires whio you will rarely, if ever hear about.They don't show up on E! or Perez Hilton they go about their daily lives. Sort of an uber-version of the millionaire next door. They are not leading quiet lives of desperation either. They run companies, sit on Fortune 500 boards and work very hard.The real point of the story is that you can have the fortune and none of the fame, you just need to choose to! So how about you? Are you wanting to amass a fortune? Are you content with where you are now?For me, I like the things that money affords...not the cars,homes, jewelry...ok maybe the cars, but it affords you options; instead of having to work where you don't like, worry about bills, or see all this amazing world has to offer.You don't have to be Batman if you amass a billion dollars, but it would be fun!

James Packer: Not Australia?s Richest Man anymore.
2007-12-28 11:37:00 I regret not having reporting on James Packer before. Of all the richest men of a specific country, Australia?s former Richest Man used to be one of my favourites. Just look at this guy: If you see him, you would think he?s the bodyguard to a billionaire, not one himself.James Packer inherited his roughly $5 Billion fortune from his father, Kerry Packer who passed away in 2005.

Rise of billionaires: Threat to growth?
2007-11-30 15:42:00 India has now unseated Japan as the country with the largest number of billionaires in Asia. The latest list of 40 richest Indian citizens, annually published by Forbes magazine, had to exclude 14 billionaires who fell below the $1.6 billion cutoff point. As recently as 2001, the number of billionaires in India had been in the single digit.Admittedly, a significant part of the wealth of the billionaires in India has resulted from the unprecedented boom in the stock market in the last two years. For example, according to Forbes, Mukesh Ambani saw his net worth jump up by $30.5 billion to $49 billion within the last year and Anil Ambani by $30.2 billion to $45 billion. An eventual correction in the stock market is likely to wipe out substantial chunks of these increases in the wealth. This qualification notwithstanding, the real wealth at the top has risen sufficiently to cause a significant increase in wealth inequality recently.This is in contrast to the consumption inequality, whic...
Asia's Self-Made Billionaires
2007-11-30 15:05:00 It was an inauspicious beginning. Li Ka-shing fled with his family from mainland China as a young child. At age 15 he dropped out of school when his father died. He worked 16 hours a day as a laborer in a plastics company. By 22, he somehow managed to save enough to start his own business.Today he controls $47 billion (market cap) conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa and is worth a recent $23 billion, enough to make him the region's richest self-starter.Li got further with his education than Taiwan billionaire Y.C. Wang. The son of poor tea merchants, he dropped out of elementary school to help his family by selling rice, bricks and wood, before eventually starting Formosa Plastics, the world's largest producer and processor of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). His recent net worth of $5.1 billion ranks him 16th among Asia's self-made class. When Indian billionaire G.M. Rao flunked the 10th grade, his father urged him to drop out and work with him. Rao persuaded the village doctor, a family fr...

2007-11-30 13:39:00 Suppose you heard that an investment whiz, a billionaire, owned a cheapie stock, one at less than $5 a share that trades on the New York Stock Exchange. Would you take a shot on it?Okay, let's take the issue one step further. Suppose two other investment stars, also billionaires, owned that very same stock. Would you then take a flier? Probably yes, correct? Billionaires don't achieve that exalted financial status by doing stupid things.Our three billionaires are an activist investor who is Corporate America's most feared troublemaker, Carl Icahn; Wall Street's most successful trader, Stevie Cohen, who heads up S.A.C. Capital Management in Stamford, Conn., and a managing director of Neuberger & Berman, Marvin Schwartz, who is viewed by some professionals as the "pro's pro."Given the great success of this trio, common sense would suggest that the stock in question merits serious consideration.

The Homes of Billionaires
2007-11-26 15:59:00 Forbes Magazine takes a look at the homes of billionaires and finds that they typically like to stay close to where they grew up. Billionaires such as Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Warren Buffet have all remained in their home towns. Microsoft’s Paul Allen still lives with his mom albeit on a gigantic estate where they probably don’t run into each other that often, Bill Gates had numerous secret passageways built into his home, and Warren Buffet still lives in a home in Omaha that’s only valued at $500,000 to $750,000 because he says he likes living like he did in his 20’s. The interview below takes an intriguing look at these billionaire’s homes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jRrRRSNOd4Y
