I più ricchi del mondo! Gente di un certo livello!

Gates è il più ricco. Ferrero davanti a Berlusconi

Bill Gates torna nel piano più alto della classifica stilata da Forbes sui paperoni del mondo, anche se vede ridursi il patrimonio dai 58 miliardi di dollari del precente rilevamento ai 40 attuali. Alle sue spalle l’americano Warren Buffett, con 37 miliardi (ne aveva 60), e il magnate messicano delle telecomunicazioni Carlos Slim, con 35 (62).

I tre non sono rimasti immuni dagli effetti della crisi, che ha colpito soprattutto i ricchi di Russia, India e Turchia. Nell’ultimo anno i componenti della fortunata elite hanno perso nel mondo circa 2mila miliardi di dollari. Anche il loro numero è sceso significativamente, passando da 1.125 a 793. La città a più alta presenza è New York (55), mentre Mosca, che guidava la classifica precedente, deve accontentarsi di 32.

A dispetto della fase congiunturale, Michael Bloomberg, sindaco della Grande Mela, ha segnato un trend positivo, vedendo crescere le sue fortune da 11.5 a 16 miliardi di dollari. Un caso più unico che raro. Tra gli italiani il primato è detenuto da Michele Ferrero, padre della Nutella, giunto 40° con un patrimonio di 9.5 miliardi di dollari. Dietro di lui il Presidente del Consiglio Silvio Berlusconi, con 6.5 miliardi, e Leonardo del Vecchio di Luxottica, con 6.3 miliardi.

Seguono Giorgio Armani (2.8 miliardi), Stefano Pessina di Alliance Boots (1.6 miliardi), Mario Moretti Polegato di Geox e i fratelli Benetton (1.5 miliardi). Poi c’è il costruttore Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone, con 1.4 miliardi. Ma qui siamo già al 522° posto della graduatoria…
