The world billionaires
We all know about Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and other people who are famous for their money, but there are some people who are also extremely rich but behind the scene...like Larry Ellison- $16 billion, Google guys-$26 billion, Richard Branson-$ 3 billion, Saudi prince- $ 20 billion, Mark Cuban - $ 2 billion, Paul Allen - $ 22 billion, sultan of Brunei - $ 20 billion, Jeff Becos - $ 4 billion.

Larry Ellison

      Larry Ellison who is an internet guru and the CEO of Oracle are now ranked the 3rd richest man in the States. At the age of 68, he has a net worth of about $16 billion as at September 2012. He has been ranked as the 6th richest billionaire in the world and has had a lot of achievements. Recently, he bought 98% of the Hawaii Island which costs about $500 million. He bought the 141-square mile island along with two resort hotels and a housing development from a fellow billionaire, David Murdock. He owns about $245 million all around the world.
      Larry spends his money on a lot of luxurious things. He owns mansions in various parts of the United States of America, and guesses the fun part! He buys all the houses surrounding these mansions so that he doesn't get disturbed by nosy neighbours! Guess being filthy rich does pay off... He has a passion for yachts with his latest being the 'rising sun' with an estimated cost of about $200 million, designed by Jon Bannenberg with a tremendous length of 453 ft making it the 10th largest yacht!
Sultan of Brunei

The present Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkaih, has the biggest palace on earth. His networth is not estimated but we know for sure that he is a billionaire! The palace has an estimated landmass of 2.1 million square feet! Wow right! Its ceiling is made up of gold, in other words, its gold domed  and it has about 1788 rooms, making it bigger than the Vatican! The dinning room can seat about 5000 people, what a way to spend money.
