| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Dec 29 09:06PM +0100 > 6. the only world leader on the list is the president of chile. name > him. > sebastian pinera What I find funny here is that if you only asked about the country, I would have answered Brunei, and I would have been dead sure I was right. But maybe those kind of people make sure that the fortune does not display to well. When browsing the list at Forbes, I noticed that were members of the Saudi royal family was there. But the ruling prince is not that rich? Nah... Also, Angola had only one person on the list a woman. The last name looked familiar, and, indeed, she is the daughter of the long-time President. Pinera, in difference to the other hand, became rich long before he became president. And as I typed those words "rich long before he became president" I recalled the man who may be the only current world leader on the list - the Chocolate King: http://www.forbes.com/profile/petro-poroshenko/ -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

Congratulations Rob!! Well done, young man. > You may now host RQ #165 in a manner of your choosing. Well, that was totally unexpected! I only answered a few of the questions, and several of those answers were just WAGs. I'm snowed under - not literally, it's summer here in Oz - with producing a BirdLife Photography newsletter for the next couple of days, so I hope you all don't mind a short delay until #165. Happy New Year, Rob |
