I love how they think they can value the private sector. This list should be sponsored by VH1 because it's a joke and innaccurate.

We are considering removing the founder of Best Buy. Not really tech, and not a very imaginative business.

On another note, I'd love to hear how they value Zuck at $1.5b. Do they think they have some insider info to their profits or are they just basing this off of Facebook's over- valuation? I hate the Forbes list. Some of the richest guys in the world aren't on there because they dont subscribe to this petty bullshit. Good for them.

This makes me sad because of the fact that all these people have enough money to save the planet from so many harms, but they won't do jack shit unless it is for a profit or some 'feel good' opportunity. Also, they have to think of their dumb fuck kids, grandchildren, and more down the line who they could provide the 'best' life for with all this great money. You guys are despicable. Congrats for all the carrots you have collected throughout the years, but what do you feel proud of more than the idea you came up with? bank on that and give the rest away. no one needs more than $80 million dollars, that should be the law. This is the one instance where people from the 1700's would be laughing at how dumb we were, besides rap music.
