Billionaires

Just watched MTV Fabulous Life : Secret lives of the Mega rich. Basically this flim shows the lives of some of the richest billionaires in the world. For Example, Michael Ball, CEO of Rock and Republic spludge his cash on cars and obviously women.

When they do go on holiday, they can rent an yatch witch cost a staggering $1m/week. Super incredible, the yatch boast it's own spa and 17 bedrooms ! Such lavish lifestyle !!! I'm in awe and full of envy.

Ok enough of that.

Moving on, after the show i went to forbes website to take a look at the billionaires in the world. Ok i didnt knew this at first, so i was kinda surprised. Theres 1,125 BILLIONAIRES on the planet. Yes. 1125 !!!! Initially i thought billionaires was rare and theres maybe a handful of them. But 1125 !!!!! So i guess there are countless of milionaires now.

Next, i also stumbled on an interesting list on Forbes. They listed 48 Heroes of Philanthropy. There are only a handful of billionaires on that list that can be count with my fingers. Most noticible name i saw was Li Ka Shing; the hong kong billionaire, who vowed to give 1/3 of his wealth to charity. He is worth 26.5 Billion.
So you see, out of 1125 billionaires only a handful of them are considered heroes. So whats the point of having so much wealth but in the end it is not put to help change the world ?!
