Found this fun “ready reckoner” on my travels:

It brings you to a site called the Global Rich List (created by a company called “Poke” in London) and you can see how “wealthy” you are relative to others around the globe.

I like the sentiment behind the site w.r.t. charity donation.

So, who’s currently up there in the fabulously wealthy stratosphere?

Well according to Forbes.com, the current top ten is:

#1 William Gates
#2 Warren Buffett
#3 Carlos Slim Helú
#4 Ingvar Kamprad
#5 Lakshmi Mittal
#6 Paul Allen
#7 Bernard Arnault
#8 Prince Alwaleed
#9 Kenneth Thomson
#10 Li Ka-shing

I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a ways to go to get on that particular list

All the best,

Tom
