All this people up here have one thing in coming apart from being amoung the richest in the world; smiles. They are all smiling. I’m not sure if its just to appear happy in the photo but that alone is a sign that money is good even if they say “it can not buy one happiness”.
I look at myself and ask do I want to be this rich? For now I’d say no; but who knows? I’m still young. I’m at an age most of them were years ago. The age at which acquiring this much wealth is but a dream.
I am searching for ways to be like this people or even financially free & if anyone has any advice I’m willing to hear it. I believe if they have made it this well, so can I and so can anyone else. We’re all born equal and should have enough to buy anything in life just like this people. Ofcourse its not envy. Its only but a dream for me now.
Regards…

I would one of these people especially christy Walton and her family to sponce me so that I can have my studies in America for now I am in Tanzania and I am 14 years old.
We in some parts of Africa especially at the remote parts of Ghana like the Volta Region in Ghana are languishing and seriously dieing in poverty.
We need some of these guys to come up with progressive investment projects in these areas to get those of us who find ourselves in these areas out of this hellish poverty and the Lord Almighty will not forget them on the judgement day.
MAY THE LORD DIRECT THE MINDS OF THESE GUYS TOWARDS WHAT I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE.
AMEN
what about the rothchild family?
