  Good point. Also the real richest people in the world will never be on any "richest people in the world" list. >
  
  Good point too >
  
  There's probably a bunch of trillionaires in the Middle East that are the real richest people in the world. Straight cash too, not stock shares >
  
  Nah, they wouldn’t be in the Middle East. The Middle East is full of rich families, large ones. 
  You’re thinking like steel and property rich. American Oil Refining is richer than Middle Eastern. European rail owners. Royal Families. I don’t know much about China, but I’m sure they have old rich families with heritage that have owned something like the whole nations rail road system for the last 150 years lol. 
  I think Africa probably has the most lop sided filthy rich to dirt poor comparison of anywhere in the world. Warlords who are the most powerful people in the entire continent controlling the donated rice and water supply starving people to death while they own every luxury on the planet.
