Today a Lebanese man loses his life and his business because he was murdered by evil terrorists. The large investments will not be made in Iraq until there is no fear of having employees killed. The money that has arrived in Iraq is nothing compared to the money that will flow in once there is security. No businessman invests money in a unsafe environment, not even in Iraq with the huge potential of the Iraqi people. When it is safe, many of the people on this list will be looking for local Iraqis to partner with in business. I would urge all the Iraqi people to notify the Iraqi Police if they notice suspicious activity, especially by foreigners. 1 William Gates III 48 46.6 United States United States , WA , Medina 2 Warren Buffett 73 42.9 United States United States , NE , Omaha 3 Karl Albrecht 84 23.0 Germany Germany , Donaueschingen 4 Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud 47 21.5 Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia , Riyadh 5 Paul Allen 51 21.0 United States United States , WA , Mercer Island 6 Alice Walton 55 20.0 United States United States , TX , Fort Worth 6 Helen Walton 84 20.0 United States United States , AR , Bentonville 6 Jim Walton 56 20.0 United States United States , AR , Bentonville 6 John Walton 58 20.0 United States United States , AR , Bentonville 6 S Robson Walton 60 20.0 United States United States , AR , Bentonville 11 Liliane Bettencourt 81 18.8 France France , Paris 12 Lawrence Ellison 59 18.7 United States United States , CA , Redwood Shores 13 Ingvar Kamprad 77 18.5 Sweden Switzerland , Lausanne 14 Theo Albrecht 81 18.1 Germany Germany , Foehr 15 Kenneth Thomson & family 80 17.2 Canada Canada , Toronto 16 Mikhail Khodorkovsky 40 15.0 Russia Russia , Moscow 17 Carlos Slim Helu 64 13.9 Mexico Mexico , Mexico City 18 Michael Dell 39 13.0 United States United States , TX , Round Rock 19 Steven Ballmer 47 12.4 United States United States , WA , Redmond 19 Li Ka-shing 75 12.4 Hong Kong Hong Kong , Hong Kong 21 Bernard Arnault 55 12.2 France France , Paris 22 Walter, Thomas & Raymond Kwok -- 11.4 Hong Kong Hong Kong , Hong Kong 23 Barbara Cox Anthony 80 11.2 United States United States , HI , Honolulu 23 Anne Cox Chambers 84 11.2 United States United States , GA , Atlanta 25 Roman Abramovich 37 10.6 Russia Russia , Anadyr forbes.com IC
