Billionaires Boys AND Girls Club Of America

If you're like me, you look foward to Forbes Magazine annual list of 'Worlds Richest People.' I read their names and their net worth and pretend it's me. Yeah, I know. I’m corny.

Last year, the world had 1,125 billionaires. This year, we’re down to 793. The Billionaires Boys and Girls Club (BBGC), lost 1.4 trillion in net worth but who's counting? You know how you feel when you realized you lost a 5 dollar bill. You shrug it off and thank God it wasn’t a 20. That’s probably how they felt. It’s pocket change to them.

I took the time to generate a list of the top 20 U.S. billionaires. As I was going through this list, it dawned on me that their net worth is over 300 billion smack-a-roos. Can you imagine if they all got together and said, “Let’s donate 2% of our total net worth to the U.S. education system.”

*Shaking head* Silly me! What was I thinking?

So here goes. Here are our richest residents of these here fine United States. Sidenote: Tell the Walton’s they know they should be treating their employees better!
