The World Wealthiest People

The World Wealthiest People

According to Forbes, the Top Ten richest people on the planet has shifted positions a little since the coming of 2012, and the leaving of 2011.
This slide of hand game has been heavy and mainly due to the hugest economic shift of the 21 century, and dealing with mainly the shift in technological dependencies people of the world currently have today. One things for certain is that America stands to be in the running still, for the country that has the highest numbers of billionaires period having a gran total of 425 and at a gain of 12 most recently as of the year 2012.

Both China and Russia have suffered the worst fate when it comes to losing their position on the list of the top billionaires, by losing 117 billionaires in total, making for a huge loss of the worlds wealthiest status levels to be known worldwide, from those two parts of the globe.
Surprisingly though, ever since Forbes has been known to forecast such amazing success numbers, and statistics. The total numbers of billionaires seem to keep rising, from a very low number of 128 to the all time high range of 1226 Billionaires till this date. As of 2012 the stats stack up to output a total of 128 new billionaires, and this is a pretty amazing number judging by the initial stats when it all began many years back.
Sitting as a fat cat at number 2 on the top 10 billionaires Forbes list is, none other than technology guru himself, Bill Gates, coming in at a whopping $61 billion, and just $8 billion shy of the all time high, which his counterpart and #1 competitor Carlos Slim Helu has claimed the title of, and has been maintaining for many years now.

Rise of the Tech Age & the social network of the Web

Today's technological age has sprang fourth rise to a great deal of change, and mostly on all economic levels. The entire global economy took a huge dump back in 2008, and just four years later we've been through some serious struggles worldwide, but the best is yet to come, even though the worst may not be over yet.
The occupy movement came and seems to be panning out a bit worldwide, the stock markets, housing markets, health care system, and many others social programs have been highly unstable, and many have been dropping out of existence all together. Now due to our amazing online cyber life today, and the social networking wars that's been brewing up over recent years, has brought fourth rise to a great deal of new billionaires to join the ranks.
Young folks like Mark Zuckerburg age 27, has reached the 17.5 Billion dollar status, and many of his college buddies, or ex friends as well as many others are catching up with pure and uncut social powers on the web, as well as other smart technologies. These tough guys are showing the world that being knowledgeable of rising web technologies, and new ways to apply a much newer digital methodology to the business world, can make all the difference today.
Who knows what the future holds for us, but one things for certain the rise to the top of the economic food chain, isn't going to be easy in the future, because many of these current statuses seem to have become, much more dependent on technology as a whole, also shown by all the high numbers of technology billionaires on the top 10 list.
