REVEALED: Arabian Business Rich List 2012

Yes; honestly you all sound like imbeciles 'discussing' whether it's Saudi's, Lebanese, or GCC country individual's who hold wealth/achieved wealth, fleeced their own country and country men for wealth- or often achieved it spectacularly on their own.
You speak of bloodline and you make divisions- intentionally. To many of the western world- you are grouped as 'Arabs', simply that. It's little amusing, to say the least, why would you feel such pride that people with some link to your country have had or are successful in this external monetary domain. It's wonderful in the general sense, success, don't misunderstand. But surely If you wanted to discuss what one does with ones fortune, what provisions are provided within their companies structure in an area of social responsibility, education, care or interest in one area of society itself- then you have valid grounds to fight out who individually are really worthy of respect. Why bring it all down to a common denominator of country?

@jean you must be hard up for a hero Carlos Slim is Born and breed in Mexico . He dose spread his money to many places including the always struggling Lebanon as his mother was born there but that is the extent of it jean.Carlos spends time on his own island off Cancun and in Spain rarely if ever in Lebanon if you need heroes find one born and breed in Lebanon. Just sayin eh.

This year?s study did not mention the millionaires in Qatar Al khalifa and consortium.The millionaires surveyed ranked individual domestic stocks as their top investment , it would be nice to discuss the small fishes like Moaffaq All gaddag from Syria active in UAE and Mustapha Chihabi investor from Green telecom ...

It is always great to get to know about the wealth and the Richness etc.. But i always wonder and share with all of you that if each rich person in the Globe share little percentage of the wealth with the poor and needy people, i think at the end of the day, we will hardly find them around if not disapeared. my message to all rich people, please have some of your wealth to needy and poor people BUT behind seen not publicly! Thanks
