one of them will be me too..... 555555

i'm on 41..but they didn't mention it.

9 out of 40. hmm...not bad. :)

Wow Singapore has many billionnaires.. for such a small country.
i wonder how much tax they have to pay :)

Actually...I think most of Thai millionairs especially politician should be richer than the data available here.
They usually like to hide their property by putting parts of money is their relatives name or companies.
I ever heard that mr.Prime minister has at least 200,000 mil.Baht a few years ago (which should be around 5 Billions USD as current currency exchange rate :) ) .

Hmm, The list must be wrong....Where the hell is my name!!

No offense, but why would anyone get excited about this when majority of Thai people still live in poverty compared to many other developed nations? I really don't see why this is good news.

so what's the point of doing the rank about this? anyone knows? im sure everyone loves statistics..

I will tell u what, like Taksin for example..

He transferred most of his asset to all of his 3 kids and wife and who elses....

...and he still made it to Thailand's top 5 with all 3 of his kids raking in the top 10!!! ...:eek:
