Guess who's made some billions...

We always hear about Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and other people who are famous for their money, these are some people who are also extremely rich but behind the scene...

                              Larry Ellison


  

      Larry Ellison who is an internet guru and the CEO of Oracle is now ranked the 3rd richest man in the States. At the age of 68, he has a net worth of about $16 billion as at September 2012. He has been ranked as the 6th richest billionaire in the world and has had a lot of achievements. Recently, he bought 98% of the Hawaii Island which costs about $500 million. He bought the 141-square mile island along with two resort hotels and a housing development from a fellow billionaire, David Murdock. He owns about $245 million all around the world.
      Larry spends his money on a lot of luxurious things. He owns mansions in various parts of the united states of America, and guess the fun part! He buys all the houses surrounding these mansions so that he doesn't get disturbed by nosy neighbors! Guess being filthy rich does pay off... He has a passion for yachts with his latest being the 'rising sun' with an estimated cost of about $200 million, designed by Jon Bannenberg with a tremendous length of 453 ft making it the 10th largest yacht!



                                      Paul Allen


Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft corporations, along with Bill Gates is a 59 yr old achiever from Mercer Island, WA. As the co-founder of Microsoft Corporations, he has a net worth of about $22 billion. he loves to spend his money on various luxurious things. Take, for example, buying your own football team and basketball team, that's what Paul did. He owns the  Seattle Seahawks of the National Football Team(NFL) and the Portland Trial Blazers of the National Basketball Association(NBA). What a bizarre way to spend money! With all of this wealth, we don't expect him to wait at the airport, he has a private jet to take him all around the world and was specially designed for him. He also has not only a yacht but a mega yacht called 'the octupus' with a length of 414 ft, constructed in 2003 and believed to be the largest at that time. Just like Larry Ellison, Paul Ellen doesn't like being disturbed by nosy neighbors ;)., he has a $120million estate which has seven mansions in it, one for him, one for his mother and the others, just so he doesn't have to deal with neighbors.



                              Sultan of Brunei

The present Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkaih, has the biggest palace on earth. His networth is not estimated but we know for sure that he is a billionaire! The palace has an estimated landmass of 2.1 million square feet! Wow right! Its ceiling is made up of gold, in other words, its gold domed  and it has about 1788 rooms, making it bigger than the Vatican! The dinning room can seat about 5000 people, what a way to spend money.
