Read all about it Just the other day we were talking about the American billionaire. Here's the list of the top 10 billionaires. Well, interestingly but not surprisingly, our little spot in the world has 3 in the top 10, and we take the top 2 spots. We're only 275 million people to India's billion, China's billion, and a combined population in Western Europe of 730 million. That huge population produces just 2. But even more interestingly, all the American billionaires are self-made. Only 2 others are self-made (a statement I make based on the fact that I don't believe for one second Prince Alaweed from Saudi Arabia is "self-made"...puh-leeeeze). I dunno how people can continue to blast the States when it's clear if you want to succeed, do something really important, you come to or are born in the States (ever heard of Sun Microsystems, Germany?). Otherwise, you better pick a rich royal or elite class set of parents before you're born.
