i hate him because he bought his favourite football club and the best players without negotiating the price. i wish he bought Man Utd instead of Malcolm Glazer.

I heard that. he is also in the race with the other "Big God's" in luxury yatchs. Right now he's competing against the prience of Saudia Arabia, and MS co-founder Paul Allan. Rumor has it, that he is buliding the world's biggest privet mega yatch in one of the exclusive building site in Europe. But no one is openning their mouth about anything yet.

Mittal dropped down to #5? btw, when will Bill Gates drop down from the #1 spot? he's been there for 8 years straight now. :blue_rolleyes:

Thats true zoheb. but there is 8 billion dollars difference between him and Warren Buffett. so i would say another 10 years maybe....

Arnab so you are telling that Sh Zayed is the richest in the world by giving 50 billion to his wife and 9 to each of his sons.Why is that man not on Forbes list?
