I wonder if she's single??? 

I've met several of the people on that list (this is absolutely NO reflection on my personal net worth, just the line of work I'm in). They were all nice except for one and I ain't sayin'.

[Atl-Jerry]

I met one of these guys in Montgomery Al when he was trying to sell something called MS-DOS, everyone knew CPM and Digital Research would be around forever.

[DIGGER]

I keep cking the list.....but my name is just not on there....dang it.

[musclehead]

I've heard of that walton guy, and that bloomberg guy.  most are unkown to me.....

[Hooter]

   I'm sure as hell not on the list. I'm on some list, but definitely not that one!

[Raverez]

Wow, richest guy in New York just  happens to be the mayor of NYC. Maybe that's how he got rid of the term limit.

My former boss is the guy from PA. Sold my company to J&J...

I worked under him for 17 years. He does like Valkyrie, he would talk to me about my bike all the time. He used to drive an old Suburu wagon every day to work. He did have a new Suburu for official business...

If you ever saw him you would never know he was worth that sort of coin....

I thought Okra Rinfrea was worth 63 B.

john menard sends me a birthday card every year, and I mail him one each year on his birthday (not that we're best buddies, but I have gotten a letter from him).

my wife's best friend use to be his niece, she use to babysit john jr. paul and can't remember the daughters name......  I put the security system in his sisters house, linda, I broke a glass cactus she had and promised to replace it, which I did. 

my wife's been in his house, many many years ago, when her friend was babysitting his kids.  she said it's not a mansion, just a regular ranch style home.  he's actually a modest guy, graduated from the local college, gave the hospital she works for $15 million for a wing. 

I've heard he's kinda hard to work for and has actually fired his own brother (larry) several times.  I've heard of some guys that have worked for him and got fired just because they didn't have their shirts tucked in!!  I applied to work for him once, took the "idiot" test they offer to weed out the losers, couldn't believe the questions, after the test I don't think they liked my question of "is this test serious?".....  didn't' get the job, which was probably for the better....

he had an old guy that use to do his commercials (don't remember his name), he use to eat at my parents restaurant once in a while.

If you're referring to Oprah Winfrey, the number is $2.9B

Alph, you had your chance to become rich, you blew it!   

Should've offered him the opportunity to ride your Valk, that would've done the trick!
