Forbes
list. 2009 Top Ten Winners: to make Forbes
list.
•••No. 1: Microsoft's founder
Bill Gates lost $18 billion. His net
worth dived to $40 billion from $58
billion a year earlier. Despite decline he
reclaimed the title of worlds' richest
man, because two other billionaires lost
more, on paper, than Gates did.
•••
No. 2: Warren Buffett, last
year's No. 1, saw his fortune decline
$25 billion as shares of Berkshire
Hathaway fell nearly 50% in 12 months, but
he still managed to slip just one spot to
No. 2. His net worth plunged to $37
billion from $62 billion.
•••
No. 3: Carlos Slim Helú -
Mexican business magnate and telecom
titan also lost $25 billion and dropped
one spot to No. 3, with a wealth of $35
billion down from $60 billion. No. 4: Lawrence Ellison, U.S. software
giant Oracle Corp., $22.5 billion
No. 5: Ingvar Kamprad, Swedish retailer
IKEA, $22 billion
No. 6: Karl Albrecht, German supermarket
giant Aldi, $21 billion
No. 7: Mukesh Ambani, Indian
petrochemicals, $19.5 billion.
No. 9: Theo Albrecht, German supermarket
giant Aldi and the Monrovia-based Trader
Joe's chain in the U.S., $18.8 billion
No. 10: Amancio Ortega, Spanish retailing
$18.3 billion. • In 2009 --
There were just 793 people rich enough
to make Forbes list.
•••The richest people in the world
have endured a financial disaster over the
past years and gotten poorer, just like
the rest of us. The meltdown of global
financial markets slashed the ranks of the
world's billionaires by 30% in 2008,
Forbes magazine reports in its annual list
of the planet's richest people. "The world
has become a wealth wasteland," Forbes
states in the billionaire report on its
website. " This year the world's
billionaires have an average net worth of
$3 billion, down 23% in 12 months.
•••
The biggest loser in the world this
year, by dollars, was last year's biggest
gainer. India's Anil Ambani lost $32
billion--76% of his fortune--as shares of
his Reliance Communications, Reliance
Power and Reliance Capital all
collapsed.
•••
Ambani is one of 24 Indian
billionaires, all but one of whom are
poorer than a year ago. Another 29 Indians
lost their billionaire status entirely as
India's stock market tumbled 44% in the
past year and the Indian rupee depreciated
18% against the dollar. It is no longer
the top spot in Asia for billionaires,
ceding that title to China, which has
28.
•••
Overall, the number of the world's
billionaires fell to 793 from 1,125 a year
ago. Their collective net worth: $2.4
million, a drop of $2 trillion. •

slots," according to Forbes. •

Mr. ADRIAN: You've seen girls hundreds
of times on ads that were my models, but
you never knew it because we didn't get
credit. - PHOENIX: You've been in business
since 1946, right? Mr. ADRIAN:
Unfortunately, yes. (Soundbite of
laughter) - PHOENIX: Why unfortunately?
-Mr. ADRIAN: Well, I'm the oldest agent in
the business, and I don't know why I've
spent so many years in such a business.
But I started in 1946 with three girls,
and I thought I'd try it out for a summer
and see if it would work. PHOENIX: And
obviously it did. He's kind of like
Forrest Gump because over his long career,
he's crossed paths with so many legends,
including Walt Disney and Marilyn Monroe.
-- Mr. ADRIAN: I thought she was real
nice. She was living at the Hollywood
Studio Club for $7 a week. That's where a
lot of those aspiring actresses lived.

Arts&Science-PEOPLE:This section features Personalities,
Entertainment news, and Media Reviews of
Books, DVDs, Movies, Music, Theater and
Television Programing, and the NBS100
Achievement Award. Who said that Sports,
Courts and Wrestling were part of the
entertainment world, and that the cost of
entertainment and its artful antiquates
will double in price for the consumer,
because of multilevel distribution and
Hollywood's war on consumer electronics
manufacturers. TVI's insight into the Arts
& Sciences, answer most questions,
except for one! What
name will Hollywood give to the reform
school where they're going to hold all of
the young computer hackers --
for
accidentally discovering movieland's
secrets.
Should Hollywood name its reform school
"Jack Valenti?" -- in honor of Jack's work
and efforts in "whistle blowing" on his
MPA associates, like Sony, for doing
business with CES and ex-Napsters? Critics
question whether his style of suit fits
the job.
•••
It didn't take
long for members of Congress to realize
that it was Hollywood's movie and music
associations that were intentionally
manipulating the world's movie/music
markets by withholding product from
consumers to create high prices?
Today's
Puzzle:Where are all of the millions of
recycled movies and TV programs stored,
and who collects and pays the royalties to
the performers when the "orphan" programs
lie dormant? Who received the TVI's NBS100
Achievement Award more than once?
