Bitcoin Forum

I know Jeff Bezos is considered the richest known person but there is a lot of hidden wealth in the world.

I've heard the following people may actually be trillionaires:

Putin
Oil Saudis
Rothschild family

I heard the rothschilds are worth many trillions.  They basically own the entire banking system so money for them is limitless, all they havfe to do is type numbers on a computer screen.   These bankers have a strong control of our lives so I hope bitcoin can help us break free from their chains.

As per Google search these are the top 3 richest person of this world.

But these maybe wrong since in this world there are lot of blackmoney is available which were not recorded by any governments.

In my opinion the politicians from the third world countries can be in the richest persons because they were stealing all their country's taxes.

I have no doubt about the speculation that there are stealth billionaires that if their assets were declared, Jeff won't be in top 10. But there is no statistics to confirm that. Therefore, they are mere speculations.

Haven't you search about surnames of Rockefeller, Astor, Rothschild, basing by what I watch in the YouTube says that almost half of the circulating money in the whole wide world is owned by these big fishes,  and going back to the times when they are issued that they are going to invest in cryptocurrency. They are not  highly a part of the summit.

i believe people from ARABS who are the owner of oil well are far more richer then that people that are advertised as   the richest person in the world.

if you asking per person i chose steve jobs or jack ma, if its talking about family i chose a rostchild family and rockafeller thats only know the richiest person/family.

May be true.Many politicians in third world countries had earned lot of money in illegal manner.We don't know anything about their earnings.One real fact is we don't know the real richest person in this world.The richest person is the person who had highest profit in his account in legal manner.They had earned this profit by paying taxes.My point of view is,we can't predict the real richest person in this world.

Those people are the richest based on Google. There are a lot more that we do not even know about. They just down let people know how much money they have.
What about Satoshi Nakamoto  ;D ? I would say this person can surpass Jeff in term of wealth.

A rich man will never say how much money he has.

Yes, there are many rich people who hide their wealth in the public by not showing their liabilities and assets to the public.
And some are those big politicians, storing their money into the cryptocurrency since you can hide your personalities while having an illegal activity. Probably that name of Satoshi Nakamoto was already had done on this community.

Well, I agree with this, these people had a very well known name even in social media.

There are still many people out there, but we don't know for sure who they really are and some of them are reluctant to be exposed to the media into the ranks of the richest people in the world for useless reasons will only harm themselves, I also often think that in the crypto world there are many people rich impromptu but we cannot find their authenticity with the nature of anonymity, Satoshi Nakamoto also keeps so much Bitcoin, there are still better and better in the world, I will only respect the richest people with their own efforts without cunning, especially with profits in their government.

Putin - Maybe, reports says his worth more than $200 Billion. Plus he has been in power for almost 20 years now. So it's possible that he amasses so much wealth during that time frame that he is probably close to a Trillion in assets today.

Oil from Saudi - If you are going to account the Royal Family themselves, its no surprising that they are estimated to be worth than 1 trillion.

Rothschild family - They have been in the business since 1800, so its obvious that they are the richest family in the world. They have expanded their business throughout the years and the name Rothschild is synonymous to banking system.

no doubt It should be Jocob Rothschild. if someone think that is bill gates that is just what he knows, so-called richest persons in the world are infants in front of Rothschild family. their wealth is uncountable.

The rich stuff, apparently, will tear us down. I think we should try to be rich. Instead of talking.

Well interesting topic but I too have an interesting story. Anyone remember the world Illuminati,which is called as secret community exist in the world over 200 years for now as per the statistics over 90% of the world's funds were controlled by them in indirect way so now imagine that who is the richest person?

Don't forget the big drug mafia, they obviously have a lot of wealth but are not tracked, so they won't put their names on the list of the richest people in the world.  :D

Good call, Escobar was worth around billions already during his height of fame. And it he continues and adjusted to this day, Probably close to a Trillion as well. I guess only legitimate businessman like Bezos and Bill Gates and W. B. net assets can be found because they're high celebrity profiles. But I will assume that somewhere around the globe, there's some family or person whose net worth is more than the 3 combined.

I got a bit confused. Mr. Satoshi? Or the person who is the top #1 BTC holder in terms of Bitcoin unit. I guess that amount would be 500K Bitcoin? Or more than I can think? I wonder who the hell is holding such a large amount of money, but can't show it to the world.

I believe that wealth should be measured not in money but in the family and health. Who has a large and healthy family is undoubtedly rich

I think the richest person can't possibly be known. especially in the crypto world because all people hide their assets so they are not known to the public. even tends to be hidden

I think that the richest people in the world are not those who are published by Forbes. Those whom you listed are definitely more richer than everyone on the list of Forbes.

Everyone talks and strives for money, but at the same time they forget about peace of soul, which you can not buy for any money.

i think the richest person can't possibly be known! because all rich people are hide there identity for their safety

The one who use his/her riches to impact people positively.

I think rothschild family is wealthiest family in the world. Their bussiness is banking and investment, they have biggest share on Federal Reserve but their wealth hidden from public not like others

Yeah they are also known for being the richest family in the world but they are not allowing their names to be included to those lists. Don't also forget about the Rockefellers. I've read articles that says they are few of the families that has control to the worlds economy.

There are several criteria I personally consider before I will say someone is rich. Richness can be wealth, knowledge and the ability to apply sj\kills to gain more in life.

This your information is not verifiable. It is just a propaganda.

These are the verifiable top richest people in the world at least from credible sources such as Forbes. It is true that there may be other unknown people who could be far richer than these men anyway.

Let's say he has 1 million coins... or forget it, 5 million coins!!!!!!
It's still only 35 billion, just 1/3 of the wealth Bezos is credited with.


I would put my money on the family that controls the tinfoil production.
They are probably the wealthiest judging by the high demand for hats here.

But even how corrupt the politicians in third world counties yet the collection wasn’t enough to be accounted as trillions dollars,maybe trillions in their local currency 😂

I believe that no one really knows whos the richest people in the world because they prefer hiding their money than announcing this in public,they only broadcast some part of it

These may be true or not. I believe there are so many people in the world who are secretly wealthy. The question is why secretly?

definitely rich are those we don't even know)

According to a documentary that I watched on CNN, Putin is the richest person in the world. The dude worth more than 200 billion dollars.

Putting jokes aside, if you think about it, I'm pretty sure the richest people in the world aren't fighting for the spot on Forbes list. The wealth of guys like Bezos or Gates can be calculated because these people own companies, own properties, pay taxes. There are people though who own valuable art, jewelry, gold, worth millions, but since they are holding it all behind closed doors they are considered to be millionaires, while at the same time being billionaires.
I'll also add that secret societies do exist, it's a fact, not a matter of belief.

for now the richest person in the world is Jeff Bezos

Rothschild family ::)

According to statistics, Jeff Bezos in US is the richest man because at the age of 54 he already has $112 billion.But for me, the richest person is the one who has God in his life.Because God owns everything.

I know that the richest person in the whole world is Bill Gates. He is the inventor of micro soft that all of the computers need. He has a branch in the whole world. His creation are know in whole wide world. The total number of his money is 70 billion $. I search it from internet Bill Gates is the richest person in the world.

It is true that most of the Bitcoin millionaires are not hidden from the world and therefore we are also encouraging and this shows positive image of Bitcoin. May be some investors with abundant crypto coins are in stealth mode but they will show their faces soon. Once we get profit from the Bitcoin then we will share our success stories and like to do this everywhere for fame.

I also assume that third world countries may have a lot of money. But in General I think who has the most resources, and the richest man on earth. I can't tell you about people. I will talk about resource-rich countries
Saudi Arabia
Russia

It may be possible, since the African presidents are very corrupt and practically take all the wealth of their country to pocket. then imagine that an African president will be in government for 50 years and take all the wealth of the country to his pocket, this guy gets very rich. It will take gold, silver, oil, diamond, everything to your pocket and for 50 years.


Unfortunately, this is true.


People who have illegal money obviously will not want their names to appear in public


But these guys said and why? they want to be called "the richest in the world". they want to get into history, just like the scientists, politicians, philosophers, astronauts who recorded their names in history, Adolf Hitler entered history in an evil way, Isaac Newton entered history in a good way. But these days there are few ways to get into history and they are using their money to get into the history

Anytime I see the question most wealthy person in the world, te name that quickly comes into my mind is Bill Gates. Actually this discussion has really reveal to me some names which I have not come across yet and I think I have learnt something from it. Kudos to the person who brought up this discussion.

The Sultan of Brunei, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg are I guess just the three I know among the richest people in the world.  How I wish I could be one among them.  Just kidding but I wish I really was.

And here you Putin's not forgotten. The poor President is always talked about. That he started the war in Ukraine, in Syria. And then there's the richest man on earth.))) Funny!!! But seriously, those countries where there are a lot of resources, there are rich people. Saudi Arabia Russia Iraq Iran

But isn't the Rothschild family no longer the richest family for a very long time and the things discussed about them the past few years are just conspiracy theories?

I think that wealth should be measured by the wealth of the soul and by activity in helping the needy and poor people.

George Sores or someone out of his circle

The richest is the strongest and the most comfortable psychic because it is his best product that no one can get from him, and we can also be the richest.

Putin does not look like a trillionaire. Is there any reason to believe this? I think that the Rockefeller family is very rich

There will always someone who will stay in the dark side of this world. ;)
Maybe, some people are too rich to imagine, but I also believe that politicians can become a riches person. Well, money is just a money, you may own everything and become more successful but there will always a black swan, either in your family or the people around you.

The current richest person is jeff bezos. But how to consider the hidden value peoples because number of hidden richest persons are available in the world. But tax payable person only consider the richest person. So again Warren buffet is occupy the first position soon. Because the main aim of Warren buffet is global promotion medium so promotion is the best way to make more money in the world. It is one kind of e-commerce promotion.

Well rothschild family could be the one and the richest family in the world. I dont think putin is one of rich person in the world, putin is a great president with such a great power.

right, many people hide their property and are not published, one reason may be because of avoiding taxes. In a registered manner Jeff Bezos is richest person, but does not rule out the possibility of someone exceeding rich

Theres so many richest  person all over the world that i've known,and they become rich because of there different kinds of investment and mostly all them become rich interms of there entrepreneurship and three of them thats i've known are bill gates ,buffet and jack ma,but the three of them they criticize the cryptocurrency investment because they thinks its bubble and they contradict the principle of crypto,because they have there own path thats they proceed being an entrepreneurs.

Jeff Bezos is currently the world richest man according to Forbes. Even if Putin and co are the richest, we have no data to back it up.

Right. I agree with your opinion, the richest people in the world really is hard to know exactly, simple they hide themselves very carefully

Being rich also kind of achievement and their names will be recorded in the history but the person who not earned all his money in the legal way can't express himself as the rich person because he will face the legal consequences for not having appropriate source for that income so the one who have all the documents for his earning is Jeff Bezos and he earned this by paying right taxes to the governments.

Until recently, Bill Gates was considered the richest man on earth, he is now still (86 billion dollars).

Its very dificult question as if someone make money with not legal way then dont think he would speak about it so there could be many people who are richer than those whom we know as richest.

Interesting stuff, but you forget that those fortunes are gone for a variety of reasons. The richest man in the world is not Bill Gates anymore, it is a Mexican man from Mexico named Carlos Slim. No big deal, but this makes Mr. Gates, the second.

It's true, I just heard it today, but you know Carlos Slim has many many businesses as I've heard.... among his businesses, he owns Mexico's largest cell phone company and Telmex the main Country's telephone company. I am not really expecting anything out of this but what you think. Who's the 3rd, 4th, and 5th richest people?

You are right infect he is but we can be richer than him using our knowledge and our strength, if we will keep on working with bitcoin and if we will invest our small amount of money to bitcoin so then it will make us rich after specific time interval, it is our investment which gives us strength and power to live in society as rich and well stable, so we should invest as much as it is possible to invest.

The richest in the world according to net worth is currently Jeff Bezos. The CEO of Amazon with a net worth of $112 billion.

The third world countries, just very few people do have a lot of money and these are the corrupt politicians who keep looting and siphoning funds that belongs to the country in which they are meant to use in building infrastructures, creating a better standard of living, education, health, name them.

All the above, all they care about is themselves and their immediate family members. Those kind of people are definitely not termed as wealthy or should ever be classified among any wealthiest men, as they cannot even themselves come out clean on how they got the money, and hence, they find a way to hide it. What a world!

I am pretty sure that the richest person or the group is that who is found FED. Namely FED is the most powerful structure in the modern world because FED actually controls everything by means of dollar. Also I am absolutely sure that the public persons which you listed in your post are not the reachest people but obviously they are incredible rich. There is the book written by John Coleman "The Committee of 300" where he try to figure out who governs the world. I think that it would be useful to read the book because you will find answers for some of your questions.

I think the richest person is the Rothschild family
You might have heard of the Roschild family conspiracy, how could those who they say control the world economy even control a number of countries and even the whole world ;D

Being rich is depicted as a person who lives well-off and whatever he wants can always be available.
76-year-old Murdaya Widyawimarta Poo is a billionaire who has large assets.

Wealth comes with smart thinking. And in case if you can hide the number of your wealth, smart guy do that. Jeff Bezos can't possibly hide the numbers just because of the type of the business he runs. But i truly believe that Jeff is only on the 4th-5th place in world.

Trust me mate, you really do not want to know about those hidden wealth and I totally agree with you. However, for those who simply worked for theirs and are well known in terms of the social and economic value they bring with their investments and all, and are able to get their net worth accessed without any governmental worries on how they got their money, are simply the ones you will get to see. Apparently, a lot of people got their wealth the wrong ways and you would not expect to see them in limelight.

I wish some cypto aspirant will replace him in coming years. Yes, it will be truly possible by considering the potential yet to be reveled when rest of the world start adopting cryptos. FYI, the first crypto billionaire is Mr. Satoshi and the first verified  crypto billionaires are Winklevoss brothers.

Well currently, the majority of the wealth of the whole world is the property of few people like Jeff Bezos, Bill and many others. Among the sources of these whooping amount of money they have earned, the ecommerce online companies have been doing great and even still if you enter the online marketing with some out of the box ideas, you can really make a big breakthrough by capturing a whole local market and finally can claim your share in the international market as well.

it is not important who is the richest person, but most important think is what we should do to to be like that person.at least we follow his strugle and sacrifice untill be rich man.

I'm not paying too much attention to the list of names of the richest people in the world, but from a few examples of the names of the richest people you mentioned, I'm sure that in some parts of the world there are still many people who are richer than the list of names you just mentioned. they don't want to be exposed by the media with the aim that other people don't know much about their personal lives.

well, rich is just a measure, and the size of each person is different. in general, the richest people, are those who have the most money and assets. but for some people, wealth is not only measured by money and assets.

I don't give a damn on whoever is the richest person in the world. Why are we always looking up at them? As long as I can keep feeding my family and give them a decent life, bring my kids to school until they finish college is a testament that I am rich too.

The richest consortium on the moon will be Vitalin and friends. Give it a few decades and the world's wealth will belong to even fewer people, led by crypto creators. Bezos will always be in the list. Bill gates and buffet will make way for new crypto royalty.

I think that the richest people, those who are not in Forbes, are world rulers, including those whom the author of the topic listed.

and there is. I am sure that Putin is the richest man because he has a huge amount of hidden wealth. I would not be surprised if he is Satoshi ;D

Jeff Bezos surpassed Bill Gates in July 2017 to become not only the world's richest man, but the richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $112 billion, according to Forbes's 2018 Billionaire. The other one is Rothschild family and may they are more richer than Jeff bozes.

How about the richest person on bitcoin world ?
Why they are not included on the most richest person on the world ?

Tricky question, but in my opinion jeff bezoz since he made that 1000 year clock inside a mountain. That is huge!

Well if we're strictly talking about self made income then Gates and the other top forbes list will be in it. But if we're talking about juat plain old cold cash and asset then i would guess the saudi princes and sultans with oil fields to their names. Rothschild and other conspiracy theory families and corrupt officials.

There will be a lot more rich people than Jeff Bezos but they do not want to publicize the property. I have heard that mafia organizations are very rich, they have three times as many assets as Jeff Bezos but they live in hiding. They do not appear and we do not know how rich they are.

It is said that health is wealth. The richest person is one who is 99% healthy.

This would remain one of the unsolved mystery in the world. No one can say for sure about who owns most wealth or assets in the world. The best that has been is the Forbes richest list and is also the most accepted. Let's just stick to it before some people level of wealth leaves you pitying your meagre financial pay.

there are several versions that say the richest people in the world, and each version mentions different people so the certainty is that we don't know.
It's better if we don't need to think about things like that because it can make us feel sorry for a little money as you say, but if you can deal with it well then something like that can be your motivation to be more advanced. What is clear is that we must continue to be grateful for what we have today.

Jeff Bezos,I don't know how to became a rich because i'm not updated for his life so that i will research his life so i will know this person has a richest people in the world.

In my opinion, we cannot know for sure who is the richest person in the world, because there is no concrete evidence that shows the most rich people in the world. Maybe people will think differently to answer this question, because the opinions of people in the world about the richest people vary.

I don't get how a person can seize so much wealth all for his own interests, toxic unproductive greediness

"Satoshi Nakamoto" would be the richest person in the world.

When it comes to Forbes, Gates is the riches, but we may never know if you is the most rich person in this world who only held himself far away from people to be notice as a rich person.

besides that many rich people who have not revealed all their wealth. so they chose to be quiet maybe because of the character they had. what is important is that we make them an encouragement for us to move forward

Some people have never ending greed.  You think most people would be satisfied after the first billion but they keep going.  At these levels money is basically just a number to keep score like a video game.  They can already do anything they want so the extra wealth accumulated serves no purpose.  A lot of these wealthy individuals are living an unfilled life and are filled with unhappiness.  

I think the wealthiest family in the world is Rothschild family. They control most central banks in the world and having many mine company. I am believe many uncover story about this family

Gates may not be comparable to Arab princes or sultans with all their assets, imagine many countries such as America and Russia are fighting over Arab territories because they are rich in oil, how rich Arab princes have that assets, even if you look at their lifestyle, it's very glamorous with thousands their luxury cars are carved

I agree that the name we mentioned here is Mr Jeff Bezos is the Man who the richest person in the world that's because of his asset to be declared and all SALN open to public. but many people are quietly handled their wealth without declaration to government keeping their gold bars, antique, silvers and also BITCOIN HOLDER. We are very focus to well known person but remember many rich person are still anonymous because they keep their wealth become private.   

I don't think they were much rich when compared to other person as individuals because they are governments and it is not the money earned by them so I don't thinkk they will be the richest individual person and even most of the politicians from the third world countries living the same life as the arab pricess do because they have corrupted money but they can't be reported as most rich because they will be in jail if they get caught.

This is one of those questions that is never going to have an answer, there are people that are recognized as some of the richest persons around the world, but as we know there are many people that are hiding the amount of money they hold, but it is entirely possible that in the future if bitcoin keeps getting more and more valuable that satoshi himself is going to be one of the richest persons around the world.

The people who hold all the banks in the world can control our lives so I wish there was the Uncle's appearance that I could help us get rid of.

Forbes will give you the answer to this question. LOL. However, I am sure that the so-called hidden billionaires live somewhere, and nobody knows about them. probably, some of them deal with BTC.

I'm also not sure, if Jeff Bezos is the richest person in the world, we all don't know there are some secret organizations that might have more wealth than Jeff, but that person is not published
maybe Jeff Bezos is the richest person in the world the internet version that was published
but remember, a boss always gives a job to a beautiful artist to appear in front of the stage, but the boss never presents himself on the stage

in my opinion the richest person is someone who is free from the routine of thinking of the world, his life always feels enough and that day feels happy calm and healthy, let's think we have a lot of money but life is always lacking and unhappy what are the characteristics of rich people? I don't think that because his life is always lacking even though his wealth is abundant.

I believe that if health is wealth, this wealth should generate more wealth. A person who is the richest is the one who has the great ideas that if executed in the market would attract the market and would generate value. This is something that is more prevalent in the current internet world and more and more individuals are desperate to be both healthy and wealth. In addition, Bitcoin is something that could be proved more instrumental in imparting economic health.

We all know those who has direct access to oil and gas are the richest!

true what you convey wealth in the field of crypto currency no one can know for sure because it might be hidden and can only be seen with the result not from the deposit

Just bitcoins or in general? I think some obscure countries president is probably the richest person in the world, they do not posses maybe the most amount of money in dollars but controlling a whole country the way you want to and just doing whatever you please must be richer than just having a lot of money.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet combined with Jeff Bezos can't come close to people like Putin for example, dude has power to do whatever he wants without any backlash at all.

Which means power is always more valuable even in economics than money itself. However if we are talking about bitcoin only than I suppose satoshi must be the person with most amount, I mean he was the one who started this all and he was the one who mined during the early days and gathered a lot of it first.

the richest people in the world may be they prefer to be quiet and not give information to the public, maybe what you mentioned is only from the opinions of people who provide information on taxation about their wealth, you still have to know there are some people who do not provide information to tax on wealth and reach more than the people you mentioned.

and who is that? No one knows for sure. many people hide their wealth, with various purposes. yes, one of them is avoiding taxes, of course the people in the discussion above are those who obey taxes, because all their wealth can be detected, this makes a good example

In our world there are many rich people but they anonymously. There are some terrorist organizations and the leader will be the richest, even he / she may be richer than Jeff Bezos. I've heard a lot about this information but I really can not confirm it yet. But I'm sure many people are still richer than Jeff Bezos now.

If anyone has decided to hide their wealth, then its none of our business cause they don’t want it to be anyone’s business, so they have decided to keep it secret. As of now, the only person that is known by the whole world to be the richest man ever is simply Jeff Bezos. When others are ready to come through prove that they are the richest, then the world will believe them.

I've read the Rothschild's are worth trillions. Nothing you would ever see in a Forbes magazine. This is generational wealth, distributed amongst themselves in different trust, shell companies, land and who knows what else. These are all just rumors though, or are they  ???


   "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws"
                         
                                                                        -Mayer Amschel Rothschild

Jeff Bezos owns a large amount of one of the most successful companies in the world. How much of that could he actually realise? It's unknown. I wouldn't class that as accessible riches.

The richest person of all time is often considered to be this bloke - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musa_I_of_Mali

There's no modern comparison. I bet there will be relatively soon.

I assume that the richest person is thanks to coins and Bitcoin.

1. Daniel Colosi: (with an investment of 5 thousand US dollars. In a few months the value of the investment jumped to 200 thousand US dollars. Very difficult).

2. erik Finman: (with a bitcoin value that has a total of US $ 1 million, winning bets with his parents and not going to college.

3. Eddy Zillan: (Investing 12 thousand US dollars. Within three years, with an investment profit of 1 million US dollars.

I think this is the most richest person today, and many others, humans besides: Jeff Bezos

There are probably several hundred or more people registered on this forum who are richer than anyone on that list. I don't see anything exceptional about those particular examples. You wouldn't need to actively trade with any skill either. Just buy and hold at the right time.

Nowadays many spam posts are survive in this forum. So I didn't say anything in this thread but I suggest all are avoid these kind of post because we only reduce the unwanted and irrelevant topic in this forum so must skip these things. I am also one of the richest person in my heart so we just ignore these things.

I believe that, people who nobody knows and nobody has seen have the biggest money. This rich people choose the public persons behind whom they hide. Although I am sure that Putin has big capital.

If that people who are here, I don't think so if they have still active on Bitcointalk since they have a lot of money to put any investment. Probably they were busy on their outside business not only relying on this forum or cryptocurrency investment. Yes, we can do that to buy more as much as we can when the market like this at the moment, it is very cheap and affordable to buy.

I guess Rothchilds and Rockefellers. They own bank systems and dominate on this top of wealthiness. But I guess there are people we don't even know about, who are much richer than even the first two families.

With Putin's invincibility, I think he might even be richer than the Forbes list of richest people in the world. Although, he is not usually rated since he is a public office holder.

You can be the richest person when you have a happy family, a loved one and healthy children ...

I think u can find them in 100 richest of Forbes  ???
Anyway,
Trump
Putin
Jews
Winklous

of course this has different feelings for each person. well, maybe the purpose of the general thing here is, the richest person is the person who has the most money, and it always changes in each period. for now, I feel that the one who has the most money now is Jeff Bezos, one of the founders of Amazon's e-commerce

I will considered Bill Gates is the one who is the most richest among them all because whis the one who have creative mind by creating procesor of a computer or what we called intel if no Bill gates in this earth I think no one will do a computer like this and no bitcoin or digital money been made so I still believe that Bill Gates is the most richest in the world top 1.

Wealth in general is indeed true of the Rothchilds and Rockefellers. But the wealth gained from bitcoin or the most bitcoin owners is not them, but according to Forbes Magazine: Chris Larsen has 8 billion USr, Joseph Lubind (5 billion USD), Chengpheng Zao (2 billion USD), Camerom and Tyler winklevos (1,1 billion USD) then Mathew Mellon (1 billion USD).

I think the rich person of the world according the information by news and media is bill gates may be some says that some new comes in the list but it is fact that bill gates is the rich and wealthy person but their wealth is not shown to the public due to some reasons and media have confirmed that bill gates in the riches person in the world now he is busy in Charity and some social works like that now their wealth will be affected but we have know about him may be some other to other people too.

Many of us know about them. We also know a little about their hidden resources. Although these do not come through the news. But you may  not know about Mexico's mafias, how much of their resources are not registered with the government of that country. If the idea was found about their wealth then it would have been right.

I really do not know about this. But I think any billionaire or millionaire has unvalued property or non-public assets. To say who a billionaire is really hard to be sure.

It doesn't really make sense to discuss this topic. Although it is the richest now, it can't represent the richest in the future, and the society is changing every day. I should discuss some meaningful topics. ;D

Even if the corrupt politicians from third world country take all the taxes of his government,this can’t reach a hundred billion dollars,meaning thats far from reality
But you are right about the unaccounted money some individuals has.and i believe some of this amount are hidden here in cryptocurrency

I don't know much about rich people who might just hide their money or anything like that, because we also don't know and what I hear is that Jeff Bezos is indeed the richest person in the world.

To discuss the richest person in cryptocurrency I think it's also impossible because we can hide our identity when holding a cryptocurrency, at least this adds to our insight into the economy of the rich.

the amount of wealth in the crypto field cannot be traced because basically crypto is still anonymous. how much wealth of people in this world is only wealth that has been calculated based on the value of USD, whereas if there is someone who has a lot of bitcoin it might be said to be the richest person in the world but has not been made a unit of dollars and not distributed to the public beca (http://rumahmu.com)use if there are rich people who has a lot of bitcoin then the news is spread to the public so that it will be a target for crypto hackers.

You can be sure of with a reliable source for this list.

Yeah! Rothschild family owns all banks in the world. They had the biggest asset also. I saw it on an article when I search in the most richest people in the world. I thought Bill Gates is at the top however, OP did not join him on the list above. Bill Gates is the richest person in the world.

I don't think there's someone who wants to claim that he's the richest person in the world. But talking about rich people, i believe they have very extraordinary story starting from hard start or starting from nothing. One example is those people who are investing in bitcoin since its value is just below a dollar. If they have thousands of bitcoin during that time, then imagine how rich they are last December or even until now.

Well, if we're just talking about personal value we can write off everyone in the entertainment industry, businesses and the royal family. The rich ones are actually the old rich, those who inherited their money fromca lon line of succession. Middle eastern princes are definitely right there on top.

my friend tell me who is richest person on the world? they are people behind ripple. when ripple price grow up to $2 they are automatic to be richman on the crypto world

This view is wrong. If money is used to prove wealth, those who have no money are not rich. A truly wealthy person is a person who is healthy, confident, sunny, active, patient, happy and hardworking because there is time. The less time, the less happy people are. To know that life is limited, money is just a help!

Rothschild family is responsible for the banking system we use for centuries, they don't know what they own, they are responsible for wars and poverty on global level. Nobody can compete with them, they run the world as they like and they don't care for humanity, they don't care for people and nature. With controlling the money and money supply they control everything else.


Thanks for this comment, people should stop thinking only about the money, that shouldn't be only measure of wealth. This kind of thinking that money makes you rich brought this world to this point where people don't have for food while others enjoy in life. It's defeating fact what this thinking made to entire world, and things has to change if we wish to have better world for us and our kids.

I was thinking the same. If you think of digits and numbers   there are so many rich people in the world that maybe have hidden wealth. Every country has its own representative of the rich. Lucky for those who utilizes their own resources and gain massive wealth. But sadly some also uses illegal means just to have their wealth and power. We are not sure if who are the richest among the rich because they will never tell their real value. Abut the richest person i know is the one who believe in GOD.

true, almost all people who are truly wealthy will not mention that they are the richest people, maybe they even hide this fact because they have a very big fear if it is revealed to the public

And how will you have a 99% good health when you are not wealthy or at least have what to eat? Don’t you see beggars in the street? Do they look healthy? No they don’t. So wealth is what makes you healthy, when you don’t have any money you won’t be able to buy food not to talk of buying things that makes you look healthy. So everyone needs to pursue wealth.

I think Arabic oil ranks first. You can see the proof from one of the Arab princes who built the tallest tower in the world.

I think rothschild family is the richest among of them, I have read so many article about rothschild familiy and it's so amazing. They have controlled the world money for 230 years, Mayer amschel bauer have established rothschild bank dinasty then start to control the world. Now most of us are struggling to life because of them.

the richest people are those who want to share and help others who need a helping hand, that is the real richest person.

It is said that the Rothschild family controlled the economic lifeline of the entire world!
The Ross family has shares and voice in all major US banks!
Although the Ross family is not dominant now, it is still an important part of it.
In the capital world, controlling finance is equal to controlling the world!

I don't think anyone knows for sure who is the richest person in the world so they judge what they know. They also value rich people differently. So one's wealth cannot be seen or judged with certainty.

Wealth is of course important as only the Wealth and no health is of no use. But then again people with wealth can get much better hospitalization facility and have more chances to recover from diseases as compare to the poor people.  The lucky person is only the one who has both the health and wealth at the same time.

I was read the article that Rothschild family has been controling economy world but i'm not sure the article was valid because the fact is questionable but i think to proof who is the most rich person in the world is difficult because we never get valid evidence to proof it

I think that one day, if he will be still alive in that time, richest person on earth will be Satoshi.
Also, richest person in my opinion could be the happiest person, but we do not know who is.

then how do you think about their wealth, can you be like them?
Why did you mention their wealth, did you benefit from them?
I think you should do research on how to get rich like them?

The official answer to this question can be found on the Internet. The three leaders are Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. But unofficially this rating, of course, hardly looks that way. And I think that mere mortals will never know the truth.

The myth about Putin's wealth is just propaganda. IMO, he doesn't own more than a few million USD worth of assets. But the Saudi King can be considered as one of the richest in the world. Because Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy and he controls (i'll not use the term "owns") assets worth a few trillion USD.

I agree with you about Putin and I think that in Russia are probably richer persons than Putin. He is pretty wealthy but he is not near richest person. He have huge control over Russia, which is sign of power.

Well, Jeff Bezos is indeed the most popular richest person, yet only because he's popular and well known for being the CEO of Amazon. But the question "who is the richest person" should never mention a family, only a person alone, and the aforementioned question is one of the uncertain and unanswerable question as some prefer to be wealthy without others being known for some reasons such as they are part of some sort of secret organization, or had wealth due to illegal businesses and transactions, and/or Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. We will never know.

I am not particularly interested on who the richest among these persons is. It may be Vladimir Putin or the Saudi oil magnates. What I am only interested in is for this people to pump their money into cryptocurrency.

of course the Rothschilds family is the richest, but why Jeff Bezos is recognized as the richest man in the world?  because it counts from the number of real assets and nothing is hidden, while the Rothschild family still has a lot of assets that are hidden and come from the black market, this is what I know...

in my opinion the richest person is Bill Gates, even though he is very rich but he does not provide luxurious facilities to his son. and he is also a very simple person, I like simplicity.

We all know that the person who is the richest or the wealthiest man in the world is Bill Gates, but we don't there are still people who are more richer than Bill Gates who remains anonymous for shes/hes own safety.

Rothschilds family are the wealthiest. As far as I know they control this world and I heard that they are soul less.

I also believe that they are the ones too. They might have sold their souls to the devils to maintain that huge amount of money and they will always stay on the top no matter what happens. But there can also be another theory that they are just working for other people who has much more oney than them.

According to Google, Jeff Bezos became the richest man, outstripping Bill Gates for several billions. But way more is accumulated in hands of two families, the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers.

in my opinion the richest people are those who have succeeded in investing and benefiting a lot. and already know or understand how to get profits and how to play. everyone can become rich if that person wants to try to get ahead and always try.

I cannot point out a single person who is very rich because there are some people who are very rich but they are unknown. I see rich person as one who can invest and take risk.

therefore the number of rich people can be an inspiration to encourage ourselves to always do business and always be willing to do work that can generate big money

Honestly I don't whose the richest person, but in my opinion the most rich person is the one who create cryptocurrency because surely the half of supply of first created crypto is own by him. For me we can be a most richest person as long as we want and have eager to be once of the rich losted person. We can be the one by having an eagerness and willingness we can make it.

If we're talking about the single richest person in the world then i don't think we can search them.on the internet simply because it is a direct threat to their lives. I also think that the Rothchild riches are just conspiracy theories borderline urban legend. To answer the question, i think you'll just need to look at the Saudi oil Emirs.

We know the richest persons who have published their wealth publicly. But some people don't like to open it maybe like as Satoshi Nakamoto even we don't know him.

How important we should know the richest people in the world? I don't think it's important, even in the world of football, many players have a lot of money and I don't care about that, i know they will easily get whatever they want, but I'm only interested in rich people who like to share for charity etc. with that their wealth I feel is very useful and must be appreciated.

of course it is based on traceable data, indeed I am sure more people do not want to be honest in their possessions, or even they do not know the exact amount of their assets, because there are too many to count

I don't agree that money can't prove to be wealthy. Money is just an external product that only makes ignorant people think you are rich. True wealth is spiritual wealth, and wisdom is priceless. When you start to be full of spirit, then the material conditions will naturally not fall behind. Remember that human beings are considered to be independent thought animals rather than production machines.

According to Google, Jeff Bezos became the richest man, outstripping Bill Gates for several billions. But way more is accumulated in hands of two families, the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers.

Do you any sources about this? i need more info or a link about the richest person.

I'm more inclined to the third option.I think that they have a lot of hidden.

from this 3, my bet are on the 3rd. Putin do have power and authority while he is Prime Minister of Russia but not much of money and assets in under his control. Oil Saudis have wealth but spread among families.

Rothschild is no joke, they got real control over their assets and businesses spread to multiple sectors globally. hence they got control over their own wealth. if to audit their wealth, my gues sis Rothschild wealth exceed both Putin + Oil Saudis combine. f

They listed the most richest person because they need to declare their assets to the government and they have very known companies that's why they are very famous in the whole world,but we don't know that there is more wealthy person than them but they hide their assets so that the government cannot get them big taxes.

I don’t care what people might say about the Rothschild, Putin and the rest of them that you all have mentioned here, but since they don’t want to show what they have, then I’m sorry to say they shouldn’t be regarded to as the world’s richest. Only those that have proven to be that should be on the list. So as long as I’m concerned the world richest man is Jeff Bezos, followed by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

It is just hearsay for if they really had that kind of money then people are going to know this for the truth will going to take on. There is no reason that people will not going to find out especially nowadays that many are doing research about them. Unfortunately all of it are just theories and no one claim that it is really true that the rothchilds are that rich.

The reports about the richest person in the world might just be on the paper or documents and estimates. I think there is something more about them that could have been hidden from the view of the public. I am doubtful of the real income of those persons. But for meet being rich isn't a guarantee that you will always be happy I think we need more than riches to make ourselves happier than anybody else. And being happy makes us more human than having it artificially true money. Yet it's nice to know who's the lucky guy.

Maybe some people tell the amount of his wea (http://hafana.com)lth to the public, but in my opinion there are still some people who are richer who hide their wealth without telling the amount of wealth to the public, and satoshi could be the richest person in the future if bitcoin has higher value in the future.

Maybe some people tell the amount of his wealth to the public, but in my opinion there are still some people who are richer who hide their wealth without telling the amount of wealth to the public, and sa (http://hafana.com)toshi could be the richest person in the future if bitcoin has higher value in the future.

In conspiracy theory community, they will answer Rothschild family as wealthies people in the world. They control money supply in the world and control most central banks in the world. But this family right now hide from public view and there is no reputable source about their wealth

if wealth is only interpreted from how much money they might have satoshi could be the richest person if the future of bitcoin is beautiful. imagine the millions of bitcoins that he holds worth $50k/btc. of course his wealth can reach hundreds of billions of dollars?

In fact, there are many more rich people than Jeff Bezos or Putin. Mafias are always the biggest asset. It is a big underground organization so we can not imagine the amount of money they have.

And why people accumulate so much wealth? What can they do with so much money? I guess its just a prestige, the one that hurts humanity, some people dont have for basic needs, they cant have normal lives cause of that money, while some can swim in it.
I dont care who is the richest man in the world, its just a joke to talk about that when you have so many hungry people around. Some people should spend time working for other people welfare, but instead of that they work for the banks and their accounts there, its why world is so ugly place sometimes, money makes it to look like that.

no one can know for sure because it is very difficult to detect the amount of wealth a person has with their coins

Naturally, you can open the Forbes statistics and find there information about the richest people. However, I think that real billionaires will never share this private information with mass media.

Don't forget to embed the name Pablo Escobar, the owner of the world's largest drug cartel. His wealth is estimated to reach trillions of US dollars, according to various sources that I read say so.  ::) ::)

It is impossible to say for sure, but I think that the Rothschild family are the richest. This is a very ancient dynasty of financiers. They accumulated their fortune for several centuries.

in my opinion, there are very many rich people in the world, but they don't publish how much wealth they have, especially those (mafia) because if they say about wealth, more people will want to become mafia or maybe there will be mass hunting with large prizes if possible catch him

A person who richest in crypto
1. Micree Zhan Ketuan
2. Wu Johan
3. Changpeng CZ Zhao
Crypto entrepreneurs one of the richest person in bitmain at also he is the only crypto billionaire. and the third person in crypto community with an estimated worth of 15 billion. there are so many brightest minds in crypto that have major influences in the development of blockchain technology and cryptocurries.

in my opinion the person who is the most wealthy is the moderator of bitcoin, the moderators can manage finances, my income from working in this forum is not so much, I still need to learn

The richest people in the world always try to stay anonymous. They do not wear clothes for many thousands of dollars, they do not put on brilliants and much gold. Being modest, they rule the world.

We will never learn anything about these people. If guys have many billions, they do not inform mass media about their wealth. These persons can even rule the world secretly, I think.

Are you kidding? Pablo Escobar is dead. Besides, his Net worth was about US$30 billion, while the Net worth of the Amazon's CEO, Jeff Bezos, is around US$123 billion. We are no longer in the era where the biggest money are made by criminals, although this idea is still exploited by the media and pop culture. Fortunately, in today's world you can make big money without killing all your competitors.

At present Jeff Bezos is the richest person, his wealth is known to the world. When someone has got hidden wealth it means those were of illegal or from some sources that were not acceptable to be added to the net worth. In this manner none has got the wealth same as Jeff Bezos to take his position.

Being rich is about how you are able to manage with the little resources you possess. I do like to trade more than participating in bounties so I call myself a rich person.

The Rothschild family.

The richest people in the world are those people who control the US federal reserve system, and if I am not mistaken that this is exactly the Rothschild family, although there may be someone richer than Rothschild family, but I am not aware of such people. Those who owns a printing press for money can be called the richest.

what will you do with your wealth if you can't live freely? i am wondering if they are happy individuals living on this earth? at the end of the day, real happiness is free. most of the time, those rich individuals have no peace of mind and heart.

maybe a lot of people are rich and talked about in the public. but we don't know the richest person. all might be able to get rich. if he intends to invest and work. now many people don't want to be said to be rich because he doesn't want to be said to be arrogant by the public. if someone is rich there is still someone who is richer than him.

LOL. What do you mean with the word "telling"? These guys don't need to tell anything. Everything is reported in their financial statements and the wealth that is produced by their companies which is also reported and signed by auditors. I would say that there will be many black money but if you are an entrepreneur of this level is difficult to hide your income from the public authorities.

It is hard to know who is exactly richest in the world, there is not official account that you can look into rich people account. In some dictatorship country, the leader has the whole control over the country, and everyone in the country is his slave, not sure if that also count rich man too.

Compared with wealth, I think power is more important. I don't think rich people need to show their wealth. I believe there are many billionaire crypto.

I think really rich people hide their status and status and never advertise their wealth. Perhaps the people you named and have quite a lot of money, but for sure there are richer but secret people. Usually a rich person is also a wise person, so as a piece of advice, I’ll say never to disclose your income, even if you don’t have more than $ 1,000.

I believe that one of these people you have mentioned is likely to be the world richest, most especially Putin, but maybe he’s staying low cause he doesn’t want to be compared with anyone. There are people who don’t really like to show off what they have.

They prefer to keep low and live their life and not getting the attention of the public on what they have. And Putin seems to be like someone who likes to keep secret, lol.

According  to Forbes 2018, Jeff Bezos has over ran Bill gate,This is to confirm the fact that technology is still the most relevant sector in the global world, a sign that the next global financial move will be from the cryptocurrency world.Thou we have several individual with scam wealth that cannot be trace.

A rich man would have a billions of net worth through his entire career. I don't think a dictatorship would make billions of net worth by owning those rich people. On the other hand if i were a rich man on that country, why would i stay there if I can't have freedom to my wealth?

Jeff Bezos is only used as a diversion issue, where there is someone who is richer than Bezos but is not published in order to protect the interests of their conspiracy in turning this world order into what he wants
When the richest people in the world do something, their names will never be published and will freely carry out their plans for a greater purpose than to become the richest person in the world

people who can invest their funds in discipline will become the richest person and that applies to crypto. investment will give someone access to richer than now if they are able to be patient and recognize the current trends that will reach their investment

Naturally, presidents have more power and money as the richest people in the world. However, no one, even these persons can answer the question about the amount of the billions they own. It will remain a secret.

Yes im agree rothschilds would be the richest person in the world right now. I dont think being a president will make you rich, president just a person who run the country and they dont have to be rich to be a president and they would not become the most rich person in the world just because become a president.

The most and popular richest person is Bill gates. I see some people said Bill Gates is only top 2 but most of the people in the whole world know is Bill Gates. But the importan witht hat they are rich and we need to Ideolize them for their hardwork and determination in life. I hope someday I will be in list even the youngest person in my country who are in the top of richest  person even not in the whole world.

I don't think so that presidents would have the money.Yes, they do have the power but we wont know that there are more powerful persons than them which do have more money. Money symbolizes power and can really bought anything.
We might see some rankings to be known but behind there are more people lurking in the shadows and remain still silent.

Correct. Politicians make millions, billions or even trillions of local money that actually come from the peoples taxes. Kudos to the politicians that has nothing done wrong but only to serve and protect the country from crashing like having economic crisis. These people are really having those riches but i do hope they also share  small portion for those who are needy. I wonder if they also have Bitcoin holdings aside from fiat money funds.

Whoever is in control of the central banking system is by far the richest.  Whether it is the Rothschild family or someone else it doesn't matter.  They can type any number they want into a computer so they basically have unlimited money.  This is the farce of the fiat system, it isn't backed by anything and the power is held by a small group.

There are lot of peoples are richer to them but legally they are the richest people that's why they are in the top but lots of people have money but not to show out of the world that's why they are hiding behind otherwise we cannot say he is the right person for the richest man

Yes mate to have profit you will have to know the basic rule of investing. That’s the only way to be the richest person is buy at low and sell at high. Those who grabbed this opportunity to buy some coin at fall are going to be the richest person. 2019 will make better profit for all holders so according to me those who have bitcoin are the richest.

Because if people knows it, for sure they will file a case, to bring down the president and the enemy can take over the power. For me, there’s a lot of riches person around the world that can still make a lot of money through their businesses. If someone who has own a lot of money invest in cryptomarket, for sure they can control this market easily, and it brings more risk for a small investor as the market become more volatile.

I am agree, who control money supply in market, is the rischest person in this planet. And as far I know, Rothschild family controlling central bank like The Fed and Bank of England. This family is misterious and they hiding from media.

They are the real rich, they hide from media to avoid to be expose from a possible threat.
I wonder how they live their life, honestly, I dream to be come reach and that is my goal but I still want to enjoy my money with freedom, just like an ordinary people, not like rich people with bodyguards that in every step they are watching you or will go beside you.

In 2017, Bill Gates was officially called the richest man in the world. However, I am sure that there are many guys who have more billions than him. Simply they stay in the shadow.

From the updated news the Richest man as at now is Jeff Bezos the founder of Amazon, who surpassed Bill Gates in 2017
But the fact remain that there are still some silent billionaire out there

and that is why recently there was an article published by one of them humanitarian agencies that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are a gateway to freedom to many people living under financial bondage. This technology is really gonna be powerful sometime in the future and we hope many people come to understand the great ideas and initiatives behind Bitcoin and blockchain.

Many people are rich because of crypto my friend is included because of cryptocurrencies she have a own house now and car. She joined 2016 and she have great year in 2017 because she get millions to her investment profit. And I'm inspired to reach that too someday.  Hard work and believe is important when you enter in crypto and also patience.

According to some poll and articles Jeff Bezos was the richest man of 2018. But look on how many employees of him that weren't treated correctly. They are even paid lesser than what they are expecting. That's what we have there with the richest man in the world. He surpassed Bill Gates and his business is booming too. These stats can be real or unreal and just wants to cover the 'real' richest people in the world and I think they are the Rothschild.

yes we all know there are irregularities with the order number of the richest person in the world, I also find it very strange why everyone knows bill gates but they don't know Rothschild. it proves that what is written in the world is not a true fact.

My guess is the Chinese and Mexican druglords. It's easy for these top bosses to make money more than Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates because they operate behind the spotlight and considering that they can force any rich people to give their money by doing any kind of blackmail or torture.

Lot of criminals have own huge amount of money but they can't be considered as richest person since they are doing crimes so they need to be in jail and those money belong to the fellow people who are the victims to their crimes.

In my world I'm the richest person. ;D

Yes you are correct lots of people and huge amount but they don't recognise by people under government that's why they are integrated if a person is legally approved by the government will be accepted by the first person but it is not there right idea to make them top

There have many trillionaires in the world which people are covered on the underground.Like as in 2017 Most people were trillionaires for bitcoin buy and sell it before December 2017.I was heard many drug mafia and criminal there black money invest to bitcoin and also most of the deal transaction buy bitcoin so people cannot identify these people and their transaction

There  are  allot Richest People  in this world who are more worthy  than This three Guys but they don't want to declare  their  asset especially the arabians. There are allot  people making dirty  money like Pablo Excobar whos asset can not be declared.

I don't know who is the richest person right now, I am only focus on bitcoin or altcoin investment, always check how can get much money by bitcoin with investing or free, maybe I want to be the richest person too next time.

Mark Karpeles

I think - Satoshi died... Or?

It is obvious that you need a certain level of wealth to achieve your maximum health but once you are past that point more wealth will not bring you more happiness or health so at that point you need to stop looking at wealth as your source for those two things because the only thing that will improve your health and your happiness is yourself.

So if you get to reach that point pushing for more wealth is probably not the best thing for you if what you want is to have a fulfilling life, but if what you want is to have as much money as possible keep pushing to become more wealthy and sacrifice everything else in the name of wealth and tell us how do you feel about it once you get what you wanted.

Maybe Kim Dotcom has more...

But the richest person is:
Hector Servadac :D :D :D on the comet, where the stons are pure gold :D :D :D
It is a luck - this comet has water and air with oxigene... And some life. From our Earth.
 

Saudi's family is family who control the kingdom and the oil reserve. They are biggest oil exporter in the world and i think they are rich family. But from what i am read, rothscild family controlling most central bank in the world and they have share in The Fed and Bank of England

The richest person will be the person who has a large amount of money, but he never shows who is he and keep silence. He doesn't have to prove or tells other people that he is the richest person, but he only needs to give more to accept more. This is what the richest person do in their daily life, and I am sure we don't know about that. Maybe that person is around in our neighborhood, but we don't know the truth because he didn't tell us.

but if it still remains Bill Gates, the richest person in the world, and I'm sure that's because no one has said that the richest person exceeds bill gates

Jeff Bezos is only a person who stands on the show window. He is making business in accordance with regulations because of the sector his firms work. There are richer persons who makes illegal business and has bigger capital than Bezos, especially some families.

After the "hot topic" of Jeff Bezos' divorce, his wealth is going to shrink significantly. I think he will be still at the top of the list of the richest people in the world but I think that this divorce is going to have a bad impact on his accumulated money that he holds.

I know who is richest, they’re basically the owner of this planet earth and they’re taxing everyone around the globe for living on this piece of land called earth, basically they’re taxing 2% annually for the entire taxable land existed on earth, imagine they’re taxing basically 2% out of $200 trillions (total entire earth land’s wealth in USD) per year, how can they not the richest person?

Ok so who are you talking about?

That's true and history can prove that we have seen so many dictators in the past amassing riches and plundering their countries wealth, they are good at it hiding their wealth because they control everything in their nation, the military, the business the senate and congress.

The Dracula 🧛‍♂️? It’s said it dead in some 1997 or so but it keep coming back to this world for all the wrong reason, some called it had immortality and it also can reincarnated even if totally burned into ashes, as long as people’s greed are getting into certain threshold, Dracula will come back.

😂 I want some of what you're smoking bro

The Dracula is an analogy to a real life person, and it’s certainly existed and just having a totally indistinguishable name, we called it Dracula out of convinient, since many choose not to believe, a new stream of conspiracy getting out, and they’re calling the same “richest individual” the owner of the matrix, and they control everything through deception, and converting everyone else into unit of political and economical output, to fight for a same goal and ultimately achieve what they deliberately planned future, a total controlled matrix system that all people work like a machine, can’t have emotions, can’t complaint, work until your demise.😁

The Rothschild family is the richest persons in the world. I think they're holding the central banks of different countries. Who knows? we can't see them in the media and maybe it's just a hoax but the percentage of it to be true are high also.


Quite interested in this person named Dracula.  ;)

I got a good news and a bad news.
The good news is I know who they’re, the bad news is I couldn’t do anything to them, because it take a strong men the strength equal to Chunk Norris to defeat Dracula.😁

it's not a hoax bro... I read an article that said that the Rothschilds created the bank system. Because of the system, they are able to lend money to many countries around the world, from this system and with unlimited wealth their family descendants became leaders of the Illuminati.

mark zuck is not in the list  :D . but I little bit agree with this, mark zuck is someone who is rich in humility, simplicity and kindness  ;D

I know this thread is a bit old and I'm not sure why it was bumped, but holy crap--I thought Warren Buffett 'only' had $60 billion or so.  He's much richer than I thought.

Don't know if Satoshi Nakamoto is actually a single person, and I highly doubt it, but wouldn't his bitcoin holdings put him somewhere in the list of the wealthiest people in the world?  Can't remember for the life of me how much bitcoin is his, but I remember it being worth a ton of fiat money when the price was around $400.

Yeah, the Saudi royal family is famously wealthy, and they've got to be very high on the list.  Don't know much about the Rothschilds except for all the conspiracy theories I've heard over the years.  That wealth represents a lot of individuals though.  That's why I have great respect for Warren Buffett--he pretty much earned all that money by his own hard work over the years.  It also helps that he's lived a very long life so far.

Legally the richest of the world is still the owner of the Amazon, but the matter is not registered, we don't know, but if you know, it would be better if you included an article link stating that the person other than the Amazon owner is the richest in the world today.

I think you dont know the name of the amazon online store owners name because he's the same person mentioned by the OP and most of the above users as the richest person. Besides, this was also confirmed by the Forbes that the name Jeff Bezos i.e Amazon owner is the richest man and i believe there's no need of including an article link

Perhaps it is worth mentioning the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, who is the owner of a fairly large amount of Bitcoin.  In addition, it is possible that he still has other Bitcoin wallets, which no one knows about.  Given the real value of bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market, which will be presented to us in a certain future, then Satoshi Nakamoto may be the richest person in the world.

Lol these new money whiz kids got nothing when compared to the European royal families. And you never hear about them in the media. Ever. Just google about the german fame shy aristrocrats.

Rothschild family is number 1, just my 2 cents

If rothschild really own the banking system then you can say their money is unlimited because they can create any amount of dollars they want with a few keystrokes.  I really don't think Jeff Bezos is the richest person in the world, he is just the richest with a relatively clean background.

I think it is entirely possible that the Rothschild family is the richest family. They control so many structures in our world. I also heard that there are other more significant people... But these are already conspiracy theories, etc.

P.S.
This is off topic, but in fact, being rich to do something is not so important . This is just a stereotype that many people do not understand.

eeee wrong.

Richest person is the one that have family. Have wife/husband kids to run into you/she when you come from work, and after enjoy in this happy time. Everything else is something that we need to do for our kids. We need to work and get then educated and later we need to pay for the weeding and in the end we watch grand kids while they work same process again.

Yes indeed but there's also a conspiracy that the only central banks they can't control are from Cuban and North Korean. Some also said that US is just a puppet of Rothschilds which serve as their arms for doing their motives. And as you may noticed from the previous years, US are building some tension against the countries given above. So weird, right? It seems that conspiracies and real happenings are somehow connected.

Just do a simple calculation of the hidden 1million from Satoshi you will know that is around $12billion at present price. But no one has ever calculated that. It shows that there is a lot of unrecorded wealth and we may not know the richest person in the world.

Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world who didn't inherited his fortune. As of now his net worth is estimated at $114 billion, and this is despite him losing $38 billion as a result of the divorce settlement with his ex-wife (MacKenzie S. Tuttle). But is he the richest person in the world? No. There are monarchs out there, who are many times wealthier than Bezos. I am not talking about Vladimir Putin here, as most of his "wealth" exists only in Russophobic propaganda channels.

IMO, the richest person in the world may be Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy and the king literally owns all of the country. Aramco itself may be worth somewhere around $2 trillion. Apart from Mohammad Bin Salman, there are other monarchs out there, such as Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar, and Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi of Sharjah. But none of them would even come close.

Rothschild owned all banks in the world. They are really rich because they can control the flow of currency. But I think Bill Gates is also a rich person because he owned the largest company which has been using almost in all part of the world, the Google. Well, it does not matter if they are rich. Because on other hand, they never known us who are poor. And we will just die similarly.

I believe free energy methods are being kept a secret and anyone trying to make oil useless gets killed off by their group.

Saudis with their plans to float the national oil reserves, they easily qualify as the most liquid and richest family in the world.   In theory they have a system to distribute this wealth, how exactly I dont quite get as its still tribal and by royal ascent as well as some capitalist elements, royal charters I'm sure there are worse systems but the richest person must be in this kind of country operating to favour a top down 'fair king' system.

Maybe this is old news to some, but its like an iceberg in its displacement throughout the worlds capital markets.    I believe its in the trillion dollars region or more, this isnt the entire company just a section of it.   The reason for the great worth is the low cost of production, the size of the asset and the relatively stable asset market in demand for decades to come.   Not many enterprises have such an enticing prospect.
I prefer gold over oil personally as a commodity its under rated vs its future demand in this world of cheap money but thats another topic and no one family or person has control of any great reserve so far as I know.

There might be many more rich persons in the world other than these but it depends upon whom you call a rich person. For me having only money, dollars, gold or bitcoins does not make a person rich. For me a person is rich if he is healthy, do not have major problems and sufficient source of income to run his life.

You know mathematics aside , I think the richest person is Bill Gates and Warren Buffet , they both donate the most to the charity .
Bill gate alone donated more than 40% .
You don't become rich by money , you become rich by what you do for the others.
But if you are considering the titles then I think it is Jeff Benzos , the Amazon owner

It should be the Saudi King, as he owns all of the petroleum reserves in that country. But I heard that it is the crown prince who holds the real power in Saudi Arabia, as the King is suffering from dementia (and he is 83 years of age). The Sultan of Brunei is also extremely rich, but I don't think that he comes anyway near the Saudi king.

This persons was based on the google but if this true well congrats to them and hope by there richness they will be still humble and kind to those people also who is needy they are affable persons too.,I think in the long run we can be like them if we just do our hardwork and beleive in ourself that we can too.

Totally agree with you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv8pcs0C8bw

This may be simple video, but it can show a lot of other people.

Agree with you. Money is not everything in this world.
You can be as rich as you want, but you can not buy true friends/family with it.
Thats is what makes people rich in my eyes.

Are you serious? Happiness and friends will not bring food on your table or an expensive house, jewelry to your wife and other exclusive stuff. Contacts maybe, but not pure feelings  :)
I believe that saying "Money can't buy you happiness" is made by rich folks so that poor ones wouldn't start rioting.  ;D

LOL... when I first joined this forum, I also used to make such posts. You will feel good, with a false sense of moral high-ground. But the reality is very different and you will understand it once you reach your 30s or 40s. The truth is that money is the most important thing in this world, and its importance is increasing every day, as the world becomes closer. There are certain things that can bring happiness to humans. I won't say that money can bring you 100.00% of these things. But if you are rich, then you may get 99.98% or 99.99%, which is pretty close in my opinion. On the other hand, if you are poor then you may need to contend with 10% or 15% at the most.  ;D

OP has given a clear statement on the richest people as well the hidden identities who are truly rich but not known to the world similar to that of Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates. The world has changed, earlier there was humanity around, further as the importance of money grew high the humanity too started depending on money. This is a cyclic process and once again we'll experience true richness from the heart soon as people are getting towards their passion in large scale than following money.

You are right. Bezos and Gates earned their wealth in a legal way, and therefore we have an idea about their net worth. But there are criminal organizations and mafias out there, whose annual turn over is in tens of billions of USD. For example, the annual turnover for 'Ndrangheta was estimated at €44 billion in 2007. The same for the Mexican cartels may be even higher.

I don't know the richest but stealing the most money may be the owner of farmer mehmet aydın: D

Ever heard about Amado Carrillo Fuentes? He was a pre-cartel era Mexican drug lord, who specialized in smuggling cocaine to the United States. In Mexico he was known as El Señor de Los Cielos, as he used to own dozens of jets. At the time of his death in 1997, his fortune was estimated at $25 billion (conservative estimate). That would have made him the fourth richest person at that time.

Pablo Escobar was another criminal who was even richer than Fuentes. As per mainstream media, he used to make as much as $22 billion per year from sales of cocaine. But that money was of no use when he died like a street dog in 1993.

BTW, check the image below. I don't need to explain about it further, as everyone might have seen it before (hint: Joaquín Guzmán).

Jeff Bezos is the documented richest with records on the forbs. There are so many people about whom even Forbs does not know. Putin, the Oil Saudis and some princes in different states around the world are considered to be rich that Jeff. These people have immense power and have access to almost anything around the world. Jeff is just the owner of Amazon.

I am not aware about him. In fact, I don't know that he is the owner of Amazon. Well, he is the richest person in the world. I thought Bill Gates is the richest person in the world. However, Rothschild family is also a rich. They are the world banks owner. I have heard a conspiracy about them. And it said that they are manipulated the whole world. These rich people controlled the economy and poor people are suffering from poverty eventhough there is an excess amount of resources to be divided to us.

Not much point in money if you cant spend it ie. the criminal riches.   They have the ever present problem of money laundering the cash they accumulate.   

MBS or the Saudi prince who I suggested as the richest person is mentioned in this article again, with a bid of no less then 450 million for some artwork.   The highest ever bid and its not even a Van Gogh.
Basically its a national fortune but theres no doubt its centered in the hands of the Saud family.



https://us.cnn.com/style/article/alex-rotter-christies-auction/index.html

A list of richest people in the world are given from Wikipedia. Here the most six richest person in the world are (Real-time rankings 2019), Few -

1- Jeff Bezos
Net Worth: $113.5 billion
Founder: Amazon (AMZN)

2- Bill Gates
Net Worth: $103.7 billion
Co-Founder: Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

3- Bernard Arnault Family
Net Worth: $99.1 billion
Owner of LVMH

4- Warren Buffett
Net Worth: $85.4 billion
Best Investor of the 20th Century

5- Amancio Ortega
Net Worth: $67.7 billion
Owner of Zara

6- Mark Zuckerberg
Co-founder of Facebook
Net Worth: $67.5 billion

Though there are the richest person, but many politician and many people hidden their wealth and money, So we don't know who is the real richest person in the world?

Can Bezos or Gates really spend all that money either?  There is limits on what they can buy for their personal enjoyment unless they are just after the power the money provides.  Then they go and buy lawmakers and authorities to bend to their every will.

A lot of those art sales is just money laundering, those paintings don't actually hold that much value.

Putin by my opinion is richest one
It is even hard to calculate how much wealth he has
He is rich same like Russia is rich
His money are flowing through various offshore accounts and other money laundering channels all the time
There is possible to count what is worth fortune of Bezos or Gates  but not possible in a case of Putin

This world has a lot of people and it's hard to know who is the richest, if you search for information on google, it will show you the top list for you but those are clean coins to be listed, and lots of black money out there. Or maybe they don't like to appear in public because it can harm their family. I personally love money and I really want to have it but I think the richest people are people with good health, lots of time and a happy family because those things cannot be bought with money even if you have a lot of how much more.

I know about Microsoft owner is richest person in the world but I want many of richest person want to adopt bitcoin as their payment and want to promote bitcoin for the other, I think by joining richest person in bitcoin or altcoin will make many people following to invest with bitcoin or altcoin.

Well jeff bezos is the richest person in this world and there is no doubt that he will remain number 1 on the list because he is a great IT and businessman  and i think many people will also inspire to work harder just to be rich like jeff bezos and other billionare.

Yes maybe this could be true because it is based on the google which is we can said an reliable resources. In this world we cannot predict who is the most richest person in the world because as he said many people are rich by doing illegal things so that can make  a lot of  money. Many people don't have any records in the government so we cannot measure who is the richest person in the world.

   What about drug kings? I read that Pablo Escobar had billions, mostly in cash! He was earning millions everyday. There should be
a difference in that who is rich with cash and who is rich by some assets. Today you can cash our everything, but it takes time and
fees.
   I believe that googles list of the richest people is one thing, reality is different. Some people probably have much more then these
guys, but they are operating in shadows, we can just try to guess who are these people, but the fact is that we will never know
for sure.

Pablo had the problem of liquidity, the cash of dollars was also the government trying to imprison/kill him which is ironic but probably a common problem.   He had dollars rotting in the ground, buried and often becoming useless because it could not be used.   Paper notes are vulnerable, he should have bought many other things but his problem was too much money amazingly.
   Pablo also burnt a few million dollars in a fireplace instead of firewood to keep his family warm, a myth I think is likely true.


I should have mentioned previously that the background to artwork is that it can become monetized somehow.   The 'scream' painting was stolen but never officially sold but it was traded and held by criminal gangs as a kind of solid asset for value they had accumulated.    The way an illiquid monetary economy can work is quite lumpy and irregular, it gives us a clue why is crypto so somehow surprisingly popular and used throughout the world when we already have digital currency available.    But we also have a world without democracy for many people in many countries and many are denied capitalism in the same way they are denied a vote and hence the secure decentralized ability of crypto to convey value is a magic missing element to a modern world dominated by politics and the powerful in their capital controls.
    I believe crypto will continue to have a demand & use is my bottom line.

Those google listed aren't really the richest. Those hidden wealth of some personalities are even more than those google listed. Of course they can't be listed and they don't want to since their wealth is questionable. I know one clan here in our country that has more than top 1 listed by google. Their wealth is kinda incomparable or just nothing if you'll think about it. The saying "money is not everything" only apllies in ones personality on how they view money.

very true, the true richest person in the world doesn't seem to want to be reported by the media. only certain people know about it. I have seen a documentary on Netflix that talk about it, but I forgot the title of the film

rich people always take the right steps to get the coffers, indeed most of them prefer to hold assets that continue to increase in price
new names began to rise that actually had a business already famous and that's what he deserves

There are many more rich people who have crossed Bill Gates by now. I believe that bitcoin is owned by these rich people secretly perhaps. Bitcoin will take huge leaps in prices if all business tycoons start using it officially and legally. These people are in one way or another handling the economy of world and their support is great for bitcoin survival.

yes i think you are right. I live in a third country and me knowing that the results of the Natural Resources belong to the state most of the benefits are not for the people but for officials and politicians. every year the profits of state-owned enterprises are hundreds of trillions but very little is used for the people. most of the money goes into the officials' purses and this is what makes these officials rich.

I also live in the third world country and you were right that not only them are one of the richest person in the world because there are people who are rich, but all of their money are come from illegal activities like money laundering, selling drugs and etc, which they can also earn million of dollars. The reason why the government doesn't know anything about them because they don't have any records and i think other members of the governments knows everything about this.

No one can know who is the richest person sir as you aid they are hidden and no one can know who the exactly richer in the whole world.  But you are correct you mention some of the richest in the world. But they so many people are richest.

Richest person like Bill Gate, the Apple foundation do not look serious and like with bitcoin, I think if richest person want to adopt and use bitcoin for their investment and company payment will make many people interested with using bitcoin, I want to be rich and ask many people want to adopt bitcoin and I will keep promote bitcoin how to get good positive respond from government and people with bitcoin.

I think this is a pretty good problem, it's easy when you ask who is the richest, there's a lot of information on the internet with a google ranking, or a Forbes ranking, but those are the coins. clean money, blackmoney is still very much around the globe, some personal reasons they do not like to appear in public is also an example, in my opinion, money is never enough, the richest people have many health, time and having a happy family, always happy with life, living with your passion and interests, because money is only a tool only, if you have a lot of money and alone in life ... what is a lot of money for?

Actually we really doesn't know who is or who are the richest person all over the world, because we all know that when it comes to money it is full of mysteries and hidden information. So even the government doesn't know who really the most richest person all over the world, especially now that many people are getting money by just doing bad activities and bad things, there is also so many people who are getting a large money and didn't pay for their taxes and etc. That would be the reason on why we really don't know who are the most richest person in this world.

With the recent agreement with Pentagon Microsoft owner Bill Gates have become the richest person making Jeff Bezos to go second. Amazon has gone for a law suit on the same agreement between Microsoft and Pentagon. This list is in terms of money and properties they own.

True rich person is the one who gets regular food, dresses to wear, a shelter to live. Human mind won't get satisfied with this which is why everyone run for money.

We are all aiming to be rich that's why we are here for us to have a chance to earn and to provide the things we want for our children, wherein we don't have any problem with buying what we need and what we want. But I agree with you, it's not how much you can buy all stuff if your family was broken, true happiness is our family, learning to appreciate what we do have, maximizing it, having precious time with our kids is still the best. What can fancy cars do or very big house if you are unhappy deep inside. Sometimes, it's not all about money.

The richest people of the world are basically owners of big technology companies like Microsoft Amazon or Apple. Then there comes underworld. There are criminals who cannot be listed among the richest but I believe they hold huge amounts too. Rothschild is also a rich family by owning gold of this world. Let's just focus on the future rich guys because that is more important. They will be the Bitcoin holders of present.

We will not know who is the richest man in the world because we have hidden organizations that we cannot see or reach.
Drug dealers and arms dealers are very rich and they do not have to pay for taxes. in mafia boss movies we can see that and they are even so powerful that they can manipulate the police.

That's the greedy mindset of a human being and because of that many are wanted to become rich and want to have all of things that what they want. It is true that money can't buy happiness? I think it is not because everyone is happy to receive money on their payday and buy things that can make them happy and support their daily needs and also to their family. it is people because their are not satisfied to what they have or what they receive and to do a worst thing. yes that its not all about money but without it we will have many sad feelings.

Indeed, as the world progress to another era, technology becomes the leading piece of the human kind. Unit of richness is money, money that can conquer all. I believe that these people are the perfect example of what is hardship is, we've known these people from different country in the world having their own story to be told, to the world. Owners of these tech companies proved what a man could do. I admire them all.

Oh I remember the infamous Pablo Escobar. As far as I know he, himself became the richest man in the world when he reached 35, but wasn't that realistic since everyone knows what's his business does in 80's. I doubt  there are already listed on the list that is a bitcoin holder, since these big people has financial advisor and econ. team on their side which are not in favor of digital, highly speculative and volatile investment.

Now that I knew who the richest person in the world, I will try to hunt these guys and kidnap them for ransom. I assume OP thinks this way too?  I'm willing to work with you in that case. The problem with such pan though is that we can never get closer to these people and there is no way I will travel somewhere in US as well.

For Rich bitcoin rich people, I think the Geminis are also this rich, they may be richer than Jeff Bezos if BTC rise up to $50k

Lol, are you serious? Anyway, we don't need other person for us to become rich, we don't need other person for us to be able to become successful in life, all what we need is the determination, perseverance that is within our own hands. But we should choose the right strategy too as not all hardworking person are becoming successful, sometimes it depends on what you are doing, so always follow your passion and what is your heart desires.

Yes, these are official data, and they may not reflect an objective picture. The President dictator of any poorest African countries may be as rich as the people on the list, you're right about that. There is a lot of shadow money in the world, it may be that the richest person is the head of the poorest country, because he appropriated all the money of this country.

I am waiting top ten richest person in the world want to adopt and invest with bitcoin, maybe giving announcement about bitcoin on their social media account is enough how to make bitcoin on higher price, I think on of richest person in the world is microsoft owner because he get nominate on forbase become richest person in the world last year update about who richest person.

Thank you for the richest people information in here.  I've been living in the middle, particularly in Qatar and men, looking on the lifestyle of family of top business owners here. You can't tell, who really is the richest people in the world. This people don't just put there names in the internet but hey, they have i  think the resources to buy a country.

That cannot be denied certainly. If we put aside the criminals of underground world who make money by evil methods and talk about Forbes top tens, Jeff Bezos who is the CEO of Amazon is the richest person. Amazon is a world inside this world. Then come Bill Gates that we all know about. If ever Larry Page was still the CEO of Google, most probably his worth would have been more than the present one. Anyway, future matters more and bitcoiners are the new billionaires.

Putin's wealth is grossly inflated and his real wealth is rumored to be a few million USD. However, the Saudi Royal Family effectively controls 90% of the wealth in that country, and that amounts to at least $2 trillion. I am not sure about Rothschild, but he controls a large number of banks with hidden wealth and he may be even richer than the Saudis.

But you can notice it based on how he handle his/her money by spending it. They pay taxes and it's impossible for them to not know their assets. Even the government can investigate on how much money you have. A rich man is silent but he is obviously proud of what he had. It is the fruit of his hard work and it is normal for you to say that you are rich enough around the world. 

I completely agree with you that it’s very difficult to hide wealth from a person.  In most cases, a person who has long been rich, and especially if he suddenly became rich, develops a very nasty character trait in which he cannot restrain himself from the various habits of rich people.  Such people very often do not behave modestly and scatter money from left to right.  If a person begins to spend more than he earns or more than declared, then public servants will definitely have questions of a certain nature.  I believe that living modestly, while possessing great wealth, is very difficult.

"Who is the richest person?"

Today it isn't a simple question.
Some years later - everybody with water and meal will be a rich person. Sure.

The richest person in this world will never be known, because the rich people prefer to hide their wealth than knows by public. If according
to official data from Google or Forbes magazine the richest person is Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon Marketplace, while lots of money outstanding
without being able to be monitored by the government. So from that very difficult to track the world's richest people. But I strongly agree with
opinions that say the Rothschild family is the richest, because no one can track the actual wealth owned this rothschild family. Certainly the
rothschild family controls all the banks in the world, because what creates the bank system is rothschild family. By knowing these facts alone we
can judge that the rothschild family is very rich.

I think the richest person is still Bill Gates, because there has been a change in Forbes rankings over the past few weeks when Amazon hasn't done well in its business. The reason is because Bill Gates always has to pay taxes and is not one of those illegal business people. And for the mafia bosses or the wealthy clans, they all evade taxes by some way of money laundering. so it will not create fairness, so the people who get acclaimed in the press will be the richest people because they don't want to make any mistakes and be accused by the government.

At this point everything is an estimate, even those that we believe we know their fortunes most likely have a lot of money hidden away and that no one knows it even exist, also as you state those that dedicate themselves to criminal activities have a lot of money and they never reveal the extent of their profits.

And then we have the owners of the banks which can literally print money out of nowhere and use it, those people basically have unlimited wealth.

Yup, because they need to protect their privacy in order to be safe from some people who have interest on them specially to some person who have some power to fight for other organization including some illegal way to become rich.

There are a lot of hidden information in this world that are protected by government which is very dangerous to know.

Satoshi if still surviving could be another most riches person in the world. Satoshi allegedly holds 1 million bitcoin which are about $72 billions at current price that comes along the money richest persons have. Imagine the moment bitcoin doubles, Satoshi would be the most richest person in the world.

To be fair it's almost impossible to say who is the richest person because we don't and won't know. Don't you know that magic happens behind the scenes?
Bitcoin is a great example for you to imagine who stays behind the wealth. Who stays behind the bitcoin? Satoshi which we don't know, can 100% say the same.
The Federal Reserve is privately owned which prints money and takes any decisions regarding USD, it looks like we all have debt of them. Even that richest "Jeff Bezos" has their debt.
There are very rich families that are left in shadow, for example Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans and etc.
This world is very hard to understand in overall and I have no idea why human can turn from a good, lovely child into emperor and evil person.

I think a nice work can be done. I don't have the information to do this work. We need to learn about Bitcoin investments of the rich people in the world. If Bitcoin is not a very important project, they will not be interested in it. Or vice versa, everyone will attack bitcoin.

How did you got to the calculation of $72 billion? Satoshi's wallets contain a total of BTC980,000. As per the current exchange rates, his stash will be worth $7.1 billion. But that is not all. We are forgetting about all the forked coins, such as BCH, BTG and BTD. His Bitcoin Cash horde will be worth at least $200 million. Bitcoin Gold has gone down in value recently, but even then if he claims the BTG coins, then his stash will be worth another $5.5 million, which is not a small amount.

Maybe when richest person want to invest and promote bitcoin I think bitcoin will have higher price, but until today no one richest person interested by investing with bitcoin and altcoin, there no expert blockchain talk about how bitcoin working to them and make richest person look busy with their business and never try to adopt bitcoin as their investing for the future.

i agree with you, we will not know who is the richest man.. in my opinion richest man is people not need to work but has a lot of money such a he has a website used by many people in the world like Mark Zuckerberg as CEO facebook, or CEO this bitcointalk forum haha no, we will never know about the richest man. many people hide their wealth for many reason like fear with a tax, Crime or etc

There are a lot of rich people all over the world and there are rankings when it comes who is the richest person in the world, but in my own opinion there are still richer than those people who are in the top rankings who still doesn't wanted to reveal their property and assets, so they could protect theirselves from bad people.

I doubt Satoshi did create the bitcoin for himself. If that was the case in the very beginning then he could've move his bitcoin and sold it since then but he did not. I don't think Satoshi got a value at that amount, we did not even know who Satoshi is/are. As far as I know Winklevoss twins has the 1% of the circulating supply of bitcoin, they might not be the richest person with bitcoin but man that is huge money in there.

1 percent and you call that huge ? to you maybe but to me it sounds pretty small . huge to me means over 5 percent ( if we are talking a total of 10 percent ) and over 50 percent ( if we are talking about 100 percent ) but i guess satoshi did create his btc for himself first because that what he wanted to happen but he also care for other people because what is the reason for building it anyway when we already have existing payment methods and currencies  but he build something unique and useful  . many people outside crypto are more richeier than satoshi .

The details here dont matter that much as its illiquid wealth and also market cap is reliant on those coins not being moved.   The second any long term deposits of that size start being moved, it will mean market reacts to a new source of liquidity and likely adjusts downwards.

The real answer to this question of riches is the means of production is the wealth, holding alot of cash is never quite as useful as confusing as that might be.  Its something Warren Buffet recognises I think and he constantly gains an advantage from spending cash on capacity which increases his ability to garner a premium in various markets.   The Amazon wealth is a product of consumer culture partly though the company has other operations, I'm not convinced long term it is worth as it might first appear.  Of course Bezos cant sell all his shares either.

This is not fair to state that richest people are not interested in bitcoin or blockchain technology. Rich people must be aware of this technology and somehow linked with it. Even facebook CEO launched his own crypto coin which clearly shows the interest of billionaires in this technology. Rich people are the ones who need decentralized system the most so that they can have all control over money.

We may never know whether they are investing in Bitcoin or not, due to the anonymous nature of cryptocurrency. Only a few of the large Bitcoin holders have come out in the open about their stash. And that said, there are billionaires such as Mark Zuckerberg who want to create their own cryptocurrency. But I have a feeling that this is doomed to fail, as they will never get the sort of user base or trust from the ordinary people.

Presidents of the countries are just puppets in the hands of puppeteers.
Rothschild family - closer to the truth.
But not only them.
In addition, there are much more influential structures that rule the whole world. It is not known about them unless you study this topic, because it is more profitable for them to remain in the shadows.

But, to be honest, the richest person is the one who has a good heart and soul, who shares with others every day and gets back even more. The richest man - is the kindest man.

Yes, we don't have idea at all, maybe it's Satoshi just waiting for the perfect timing or new all time high to cash out  his BTC, we really don't know and there's also a lot of people not related to crypto who are also very rich and can also have impact once they buy and sell Bitcoin, anyway, we might not that rich, but still we can still be able to maximize our fund and be rich in some ways.

He wants to create digital token with himself in control of all users and their information and usage of those tokens.  You could almost say its the opposite of cryptocurrency with decentralisation, we keep mixing the two together.   FIAT can be digital currency and its still not close to cryptocurrency, most money in most western nations now is majority electronically transmitted.   We are not advancing anywhere by just continuing on what we already have.

Anybody on this forum needs to be going out onto twitter or anywhere else crypto is discussed and make sure to say Libra is not cryptocurrency, the water is very muddy on any fast moving technology.  Dont give more power to Zuckerberg or anyone similar and expect them not to use it their advantage and their shareholders, thats his job as a businessman but its nothing to do with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general imo anyhow.

He probably made a mistake and added a zero and that is why he got 10 times your amount but whatever the case we have no doubts that satoshi is one of the richest persons around the world and yet he has not moved his coins since he decided to disappear.

This gives credibility to all of those that believe that satoshi passed away long time ago, but this could also be a case of a person that just does not care about money at all and decided to create bitcoin just because he wanted to do it.

If we logically think about the richest people of the world, they are the ones who have hands in every business. This is unlikely to happen that they are not into blockchain technology or precisely not involved in bitcoin. These rich people are actually the whales of crypto market. CEO of facebook has also tried to launch his crypto currency which simply means that he wants to conquer this market as well.

In my own point of view, the names of the rich people that are mentioned might not be the richest person in the world because no doubt that there is someone who are more richer than them that they only hide their assets to protect themselves from danger. Who knows maybe they became rich just because they sell drugs, weaponry and other illegal things just to make them insanely rich, that is why they hide their true identity.

Most of those people who are secretly hiding their identities are the one who created or helped the people in the list, there's always someone at the back of every successful businessman who doesn't want to reveal to the public for private privacies. People who are really hiding from the spotlight but can control every financial institutions. They are just around the corner observing everything around.

This is not considered to be the richest that income is calculated and put on display for all. In addition to Putin, there are people richer than Putin. It’s just not disclosed.

Those who are having single way of making money are not the rich people but now a day those people are rich who has so many income resources and having bitcoin as your income resource is a sign that we are having opportunities so that’s why I never stop making investments because want to be rich and make money as well.

Bill Gate overtook Jeff, but I'm disappointed to see that he slipped back to 2nd place. It's that technically he should be the richest, but he donated so many millions. Sad to see the Facebook founder as number 5.

right, one way to get rich is investing, especially for investors who dare to take risks. the risk will be directly proportional to the return, we only manage the risk. now bitcoin is an asset that has good returns, even warrent buffets don't miss investing in it

I think the richest man now is Satoshi, we really don't know for sure he's handling more than millions of Bitcoin right now, so we cannot really say that. Whether who is the richest man now or the very poor person, let's just do our part too to and to goal that we will let ourselves strive for the better and not for the worst.

Of course, the richest people can be considered those people who own oil and gas wells, as well as oil refineries.  Black gold makes the owners of this business billionaires, but it is impossible to say exactly who has the most money, because they all hide their income in one way or another.  But I suppose, if you look at the history of the creation of bitcoin, and how Bitcoin blocks were created by Satoshi Nakamoto, then I can well assume that Satoshi Nakamoto is the richest person in the world.  Many cryptocurrency users are worried that if Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly appears and puts up his bitcoin for sale, then the cryptocurrency will drop in price very much.
