विश्व के 100 सर्वाधिक धनी व्यक्तियों की सूची

yes यह विश्व के 100 सर्वाधिक धनी व्यक्तियों की सूची दिनांक ११ फरवरी २००८ को, प्रत्येक व्यक्ति की कुल संपत्ति के मूल्य पर आधारित है। The total net worth is an estimate measured in United States dollars, based on the closing stock prices of the stock exchanges on which each person's company is listed, and exchange rates on February 11, 2008. Stock prices are defined as shares of ownership in a corporation, and exchange rates are defined as how much one currency is worth in terms of another. This list only represents each person's valuation on a single day due to daily fluctuations among exchange rates and stock valuations. The list does not include heads of state whose wealth is tied to their position (see list of heads of government and state by net worth). __TOC__ Top billionaires The following list is the ranking of the world's richest billionaires on February 11 2008, and does not reflect changes since that date. The top three countries with the most billionaires are: United States with over 400, Russia with 87, and India and Germany with 56 each.

These claims are well-referenced and credible. This list is necessary because it is appropriate neither for Wikipedia nor for others to depend on a single-source (Forbes) to estimate the richest people in the world. Government figures Vladimir Putin Business oligarch Vladimir Putin Roman Abramovich Former State Duma Speaker Ivan Rybkin claimed that President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, "is the biggest oligarch in Russia" and that Russian businessmen Gennady Timchenko, Mikhail Kovalchuk, Yuriy Kovalchuk, and Roman Abramovich are "looking after Putin's business interests and swallowing up a vast share of the nation's financial flows"http://www.rferl.org/reports/mm/2004/02/3-130204.asp Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty 23 सितंबर 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080616134804/http://www.rferl.org/reports/mm/2004/02/3-130204.asp 16 जून 2008 live .

Economist Anders Åslund, author of "Russia's Capitalist Revolution"Anders Åslund Russia's Capitalist Revolution: Why Market Reform Succeeded and Democracy Failed, 2007, ISBN 978-0-88132-409-9, PDF https://web.archive.org/web/20110723004319/http://bookstore.petersoninstitute.org/book-store/4099.html 23 जुलाई 2011 , described this story in his Moscow Times article: "Everybody around Putin is completely corrupt, but many think that the president himself is honest. In February 2004, presidential candidate Ivan Rybkin named three men as Putin's bagmen, including Gennady Timchenko, the co-founder of the Gunvor oil-trading company. After Rybkin made this statement, he vanished from the political stage. In September, the Polish magazine Wprost wrote that Timchenko, a former KGB officer and member of Putin's dacha cooperative in St. Petersburg, has a net worth of $20 billion. Officially, Timchenko sells the oil of four Russian oil companies, but how are the prices determined to generate such profits? In a sensational interview in Germany's Die Welt on Nov. 12, Stanislav Belkovsky, the well-connected insider who initiated the Kremlin campaign against Yukos in 2003, made specific claims about Putin's wealth. He alleged that Putin owned 37 percent of Surgutneftegaz (worth $18 billion), 4.5 percent of Gazprom ($13 billion) and half of Timchenko's company, Gunvor (possibly $10 billion). If this information is true, Putin's total personal fortune would amount to no less than $41 billion, placing him among the 10 richest in the world." When asked at a press conference on February 14, 2008 if these allegations were true, Putin was quoted as saying the following in response: "This is true. I am the richest person not only in Europe, but also in the world. I collect emotions. And I am rich in that respect that the people of Russia have twice entrusted me with leadership of such a great country as Russia. I consider this to be my biggest fortune. As for the rumors concerning my financial wealth, I have seen some pieces of paper regarding this. This is plain chatter.""Что касается различных слухов по поводу денежного состояния, я смотрел некоторые бумажки на этот счёт: просто болтовня, которую нечего обсуждать, просто чушь. Все выковыряли из носа и размазали по своим бумажкам. Вот так я к этому и отношусь."
