Talk:Richest Wikia

Analysts predict that the world’s first trillionaire will emerge on the planet — and it may be sooner than we think. This is someone who is worth at least this much: $1,000,000,000,000. The world may appear to be in chaos, but the wealthy charge on, “despite plunging oil prices and a weakened euro,” reports Forbes magazine, which has identified a record 1,826 billionaires. Combined, they have a net worth of $7.05 trillion, which would pay less than half of the current federal debt. But no matter. The list includes 290 newcomers, 71 of whom hail from China.

The young, restless and commercially canny are also among the ranks. A record 46 among the billionaire ranks are under age 40. With such a good head start, will they notch it up to trillionaire by the time they are, say, 60? Analysts are already forecasting that the first trillionaire will emerge in the next two decades. Some - like entrepreneur Peter Diamandis - claim it will be through enterprises in space, where natural resources abound. He has outlined his ideas in a new book titled “Bold.”
