The Forbes magazine "has counted a record 946 billionaires around the world, with a combined net worth of $3.5 trillion. Heading the list are the familiar names of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, both Americans. However, seven of the world's ten richest people are citizens of countries other than the United States. Newcomers to the club include 19 Russians, 14 Indians, 13 Chinese and ten Spaniards. The billionaire boom reflects the big rise in global wealth thanks to strong equity and property markets and buoyant commodity prices."
