What If A Billionaire Does Not Want To Be In Forbes List Of Billionaires?

Every year Forbes updates a complete list of billionaires around the world,but what if some billionaire does not want to be in that list. Lets say that some billionaire does not want to be famous or is afraid that he will get kidnapped,can he tell Forbes not to put his name on the list?

Answer:There are ways to hide money and put it in tax free areas, ie charity foundations. Also, forbes does not get the exact number as they do not have the specific amount of assets and liabilities that compile a net worth. This would be a great problem to have and I'm sure that there are many billionaires that are not on the list because of the reasons you said.

Answer:Yes ,but not many.I know a few shadowy men like this who prefer to stay under the radar so they can buy rare stolen art and jewels!

Why Does Steve Forbes Deserve A Shot At The Golden Boy?

I know that Forbes was robbed by the judges against Demetrius Hopkins and Grady Brewer but they aren't elite fighters. Who has Forbes beaten to deserve such a pay day?

Answer:bigger question, what does forbes gain if he should beat oscar?????????. Oscar is doing typical golden boy stuff. He is hand picking fighters just because. Golden Boy hasn't fought a "truly deserved" fight in 4 years since mosely. he didn't deserve hopkins,mayweather,sturm but because of money the fight happen. Forbes is just another mayorga for de la hoya to look decent against. Is their even a belt on the line??? oscar beating him doesn't move his ranking up to mayweather rematch status.

How Would You Compare Fortune, Forbes And Fast Company As Far As Topics And Writing Style?

Are there different focuses and styles of each? What is each known for specifically? That is, how do they compare?

Answer:Fortune is the oldest one here, and as such has a reputation for solid info and insight. Forbes focuses a lot more on capital management. Expect more "fluff" pieces from Forbes. Fast Company is newer and tries to be trendy. Don't believe any word of it.

Based on an extraordinary collaboration between Steve Forbes, chairman, CEO, and editor in chief of Forbes Media, and classics professor John Prevas, Power Ambition Glory provides intriguing comparisons between six great leaders of the ancient world and contemporary business leaders.

• Great leaders not only have vision but know how to build structures to effect it. Cyrus the Great did so in creating an empire based on tolerance and inclusion, an approach highly unusual for his or any age. Jack Welch and John Chambers built their business empires using a similar approach, and like Cyrus, they remain the exceptions rather than the rule.
• Great leaders know how to build consensus and motivate by doing what is right rather than what is in their self-interest. Xenophon put personal gain aside to lead his fellow Greeks out of a perilous situation in Persia–something very similar to what Lou Gerstner and Anne Mulcahy did in rescuing IBM and Xerox.
• Character matters in leadership. Alexander the Great had exceptional leadership skills that enabled him to conquer the eastern half of the ancient world, but he was ultimately destroyed by his inability to manage his phenomenal success. The corporate world is full of similar examples, such as the now incarcerated Dennis Kozlowski, who, flush with success at the head of his empire, was driven down the highway of self-destruction by an out-of-control ego.
• A great leader is one who challenges the conventional wisdom of the day and is able to think out of the box to pull off amazing feats. Hannibal did something no one in the ancient world thought possible; he crossed the Alps in winter to challenge Rome for control of the ancient world. That same innovative way of thinking enabled Serge Brin and Larry Page of Google to challenge and best two formidable competitors, Microsoft and Yahoo!
• A leader must have ambition to succeed, and Julius Caesar had plenty of it. He set Rome on the path to empire, but his success made him believe he was a living god and blinded him to the dangers that eventually did him in. The parallels with corporate leaders and Wall Street master-of-the-universe types are numerous, but none more salient than Hank Greenberg, who built the AIG insurance empire only to be struck down at the height of his success by the corporate daggers of his directors.
• And finally, leadership is about keeping a sane and modest perspective in the face of success and remaining focused on the fundamentals–the nuts and bolts of making an organization work day in and day out. Augustus saved Rome from dissolution after the assassination of Julius Caesar and ruled it for more than forty years, bringing the empire to the height of its power. What made him successful were personal humility, attention to the mundane details of building and maintaining an infrastructure, and the understanding of limits. Augustus set Rome on a course of prosperity and stability that lasted for centuries, just as Alfred Sloan, using many of the same approaches, built GM into the leviathan that until recently dominated the automotive business.
