Nope, on Forbes richest men in the world the top 10 are number one Bill Gates. Paul Allen and the pepsi and coke investor ?
then the Dell guy. [Dell computers]
Last 5 is all Wal Mart heirs to the Sam Walton forturne.
In the Forbes 400 some are Saudi's just not in the top ten.
But you have to remember they don't disclose their earnings to anyone. So no one really knows what they have.
google it and it takes you to the Forbes list
