Now you need a billion to make the list.
When growing up, the status of millionare seemed to signify membership of an elite list of the richest people in the world. (Yes, I was a naieve country boy and no I’m not that old). Now, it would seem you need more than a billion to join an elite list.
There are 691 members in 2005, up from 587 in 2004 so 2005 was a good year for the super-rich. There are now 3 “Irish” billionares - John Dorrance, Tony O’Reilly and Sean Quinn.
