Unknown BillionairesMad money does not always equal fame. These folks manage to skirt the public eye despite their billions. We're not talking about famous and reclusive. We're talking about being flat-out unknown among the masses.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO POLITICS?

neither the money or the looks are important. these people have obviously worked very hard for themselves. the ability to focus on a dream and make it come to life is an attractive quality in any human being whether the goal is money or simply love and compassion.

I read these not only for the factual information, but to also (as a habit now) view the comments that are posted. It's entertaining to go through the comments and read that about 90% of them are grammatically incorrect or have some serious spelling flaws. It wouldn't be so entertaining if within these very comments, those very people boasting about themselves or putting others down are the ones that are seriously inept. Irony at its best. haha

So much going on in this world. Starvation, homeless, education, stock market , gas prices, war, just to name a few.
I don't believe one person needs all this money that is part of the reason why we have these situations we are in.
I truly do hope all of you are donating from the heart to help those who truly are in trouble.
My family is now struggling just to keep each month going and my husband has a good job. The money is just not stretching enough.
Thank you for allowing me to post this..

Barack Obama was only not saluting while he was singing the National Anthem....I bet you don't even know the words to the song! He is most likely more patriotic than the people spreading rumors about him, for he is running for President of the USA....he salutes the flag when he is saying the Pledge of Alligance! Stop spreading rumors and lies about Barack Obama...I'm sick of ignorant people!
