[edit] Deletion Issue

This page is not the same as List of billionaires (2007). Instead, it is a page listing people or billionaires who have reached their highest point in their fortune, regardless of the year, and are listed without begin adjusted for economic inflation. This is similar to Wealthy historical figures 2007, of which I made. Please not that this is not a copy of an other article and is independently on it’s on subject.

Wealthy historical figures 2007 would indeed seem to be a better article to compare it with.

I've removed the {{prod}} template since Jughead disputes the deletion request (and it's not clear to me either that this should be deleted). That's not to say I don't have concerns about the article: I wonder if this encyclopedic, and I also wonder whether it constitutes a copyvio if it's based entirely on an article from Forbes. (If the article was purely a factual list, it may not. I'm not sure). Anyway, I think the best approach is to send it to AFD. --kingboyk (talk) 21:47, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I have a question

Shouldn't Bill Gates have 101 billion because this list is for when peak amount of money reached, which for Gates is 101 billion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.87.40.199 (talk) 00:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

In addition to Gates. Why does Paul Allen's source of wealth say Reliance? That's an Indian company. He made his wealth from founding Microsoft, and then leaving and investing his shares in different thing from oil pipeline companies to buying Dreamworks animation. SO that needs to be changed as soon as possible please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.148.116 (talk) 19:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Who made the graph?Did someone make it, or did it come from a Forbes site or something? I'm curious as to how it got into there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.175.64 (talk) 02:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
