Great comments about a very simple unassuming and shy
man that has done so much for his fellow inhabitants of this planet
we are killing with overpopulation.
I'm from Warsaw Poland and he opened a new hospital,an
orphanage a new school and fixed the infrastructure of the city
paid with his own moneys.
An older little man with the mind of a genius and the heart of a giant.
He truly can move mountains with a twitch of an eye even in
a country like mine so stuck in the communist era downfalls.
I wish him a long life,prosperity,health and all the love we Poles can give him.
May God bless him.
Mariusz Janik.

You are right: Romulo Marquis de Fereeira is a man with the mind of a genius.
I visited his factories of recycling glass,paper and metal in South America plus several wind farms.Entire towns have free electric now.He also construct orphanages and small hospitals in far away rural areas all over Western Europa,Brazil,Africa and India where is called "Papa Louis" by the locals.He has dedicated his life to give away all the fortune he made until 2008 that he predicted as a catastrophe,and it was.
He was severely ill a few months ago but he re started a new bigger venture.
I don't think he might have 50 Billions but closer to 25 B would be more realistic,(not counting expensive real estate).
His nephew Louis Alphonse Philippe tends to exaggerate a lot.
I wish Romulo MdeFerreira Y Cadaval a wonderful and satisfying second career and some great person to love him.
It gets lonely at the top.
He deserves better too,full of love,generous,considered and super smart.
May God Bless him.

His Grace R.Marquis de Ferreira Duke de Cadaval favorite quote is: "It's not how much you have but how well you can hide it and share it!"
He was born in Oct/1942 in Florence,Italy.
As his personal private secretary for 23 years and I was amazed in a daily basis by his extreme intelligence,ease to invest and control over 30 companies in 7 languages and 2 dialects.
A very unasuming plain simple man.
After selling his enterprises in the USA,Portugal,France,Italy,Romania,Uruguay,Brazil and many other countries he generously set up for life all the employees that worked for him.
His views about the origins of the Universe,interstellar travel,astro- physics and the finding of formulas to solve the most complicated theories and problems of dark matter and neutrinos in space are used nowadays by most physicists and mathematicians.
He is considered in very closed circles as one of the geniuses of the XX Century and beyond.
His multi billion fortune is incalculable and well over 50 B.

Marquis de Ferreira is a man that wears many hats.
I thought he was a Quantum Physicist besides Astro Physics and Anthropology.He discovered the 23B marker.
Yes he does have 5 or 6 PHD's titles but he speaks and writes
fluently 9 languages not 7, and designed and produced several
echo friendly devices to avoid pollution and the Earth decay.
He is also a adored in Brno my city and an expert in International laws as well as a very important member of UNESCO,U.N.,E.U.,OPEC and several South American and Asian powerful associations.
His last speech at the U.N. caused sensation and a standing ovation.
He is an expert in NON VERBAL communication or body language as it is usually called.
I don't think his fortune is as high as 50 B. as stated before but for sure is is extremely rich,powerful and well known as an investment wizard. He was called "The Marquis Wiz " because
of his investments strategies.
His most endearing qualities are:honesty,dedication,friendly,helpful,loving and caring.

There always is a much richer man by the name of
Romulo Marquis de Ferreira Duke de Cadaval.
He started as a Nuclear Physicist in 1978 in USA and became Professor in several prestigious Universities teaching nuclear properties,the string theory in the formation of the Universe and the possible calculation of the origins of the Universe with
a very simple equation to unravel the mystery and properties of neutrinos and interstellar black matter.

He possesses one of the highest I.Q.ever recorded of
189 only lower to a very few in History like Von Savant,
His connections and power can create or destroy multi-billion
Euro project."Without me there is no finalization nor beginning.
I do it all!!"
Related to most of there European nobility has given away over 3.5 billions for Easter European entrepreneurs like Investors,Doctors,Economists, orphanages and large factories as well as hospitals.
