Forbes says less than 800 billionaires exist in the world, here's where 300 of them live. (via http://nischal.posterous.com)

Isn't it "funny" how the majority of billionaires are men and live in traditionally "white" areas of planet Earth? Sure, sure, "all men are created equal" but after that, all bets are off.

Oh and in case you thought gender equality isn't really an issue these days, only 29 of the top 300 richest billionaires are women. Seems like the right to vote isn't such a powerful tool after all.

Of course, if all we care about is money, this chart says a lot. I'd love to live on a planet where success is measured by other accomplishments. Yes, I am a dreamer. :)
