There is one thing I know, none of those will ever make such a bold move as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, which is donate 99% of their wealth to charity. You can bet on that. Atleast 20%?

Ok… You went tooooo far! Who told you Al-Kharafi’s wealth or Al-Ghanim’s wealth comes from oil? They’re not from the royal family, so they have/receive nothing from the oil. You could say that to Sheikhs with billions, but do you see their names on that list? No, because they don’t want you to critisize them. If they put their names on that list, the source would be “Inherited,” and they inherited that money from their parents. Most of our Sheikh are multi-billionaires from the oil, and we’d be kidding ourselves if we said they didn’t. That still doesn’t chanage that there are some Arabs who worked hard for their money.

â€œi am an indian , there are more indians in billionaires top listâ€

Yeah, but out of 1.5 billion people, thatâ€™s really nothing.

That is a good point, but all that money was made through hard work. It wasnt just easy oil money that they were born with. And the population is about 1.25 at the moment…which is a lot..but that makes the competition harder …which makes these billionaires more stronger…they didnt have to just pay immigrant workers in the desert 100 dinars for 800 dinars of work and keep the profit and flaunt their wealth.

Do you know what happened to the Kharafi family recently? If you’re saying that he has power, he could of turned what they did to his brother. They ARE NOT allowed to sell or buy stock for 7 years in the Kuwait Stock Exchage due to corruption. If he has the power, he could of turned this rule that came from the Government. They won’t have close to $11.5 billion next year. Take it from me!

“Money is nothing without power, true. But the opposite is just as true. Money gives you power; believe it or not jassim alkharafy is the 3rd man in this country.”

Believe it or not, Jassim Al-Kharafi is a puppy to Sheikh Sabah and Sheikh Nasser. They are the ones who put him in that position. They could of put Ahmed Al-Sadoun, who has nothing, and was the Parliament speaker for 15 years. Parliament speakers come and go, and the Emir can dissolve the Parliament anytime he wishes. So basically, Jassim Al-Kharafi is nothing.
