Well, some one had to be the richest man on Earth, but why did it
have to be him? Don't feel embarrassed if you find yourself mulling over this
Question….. Most of us do! But we're uncertain about what the richest man must
be ruminating on? The most opulent real estates, priciest jewelry, luxurious
cars, latest high-tech gadgets….may be more. Every year, Forbes magazine
compiles a list of the world's wealthiest people. While awaiting the release of
the 2006 list, Forbes wanted to give you a look at the vehicles driven by the
billionaires at the top of the 2005 list. You will be stunned to know the
vehicles that Forbes'Top Ten richest people in the world are driving. Bugattis,
Ferraris or BMWs are not driven by these billionaires. However there are cars
like Lincoln, a Mazda, even a Dodge and Ford. It seems that for the super-rich,
a vehicle is seen not as a status symbol. Status is something that these
billionaires need not prove to others. They prefer to live discreetly, avoiding
the limelight at all costs.
