Andrew Carnegie, $310 billion
Andrew Carnegie was an unbelievably rich and powerful businessman. He became famous in the middle of the 19th century. Carnegie was born in Scotland and he was from a very poor family that moved to the US at the end of the 1840s. After some successful investments into a series of companies, Carnegie set up his own company, U.S. Steel, that made him the biggest part of his fortune of $310 billion. He is also known as a man who spent most of this money on different donations, so he is remembered as one of the most prominent philanthropists in the world.

Ford is not a good example of a good American business man. He was actually a very cruel taskmaster. After announcing his $5/day huge pay rate people flocked to Ford in droves. They often worked in horrible conditions and were often fired if they went to the bathroom and didn't produce any waste. Many just went in their pants out of fear. Ford also had extensive business dealings with the Nazis and was a personal idol of Hitler himself. The more you learn about Ford, the worse it gets. Plus his cars are sh*te.

Since this list includes "land holdings" it should have Genghis Khan. He had 12 million square miles now worth trillions.

Gaddafi was assassinated by USA because he wanted to create currency backed up with gold and start doing oil transactions with it. If he did succeed USA would start spiraling down into recession because they would have nowhere to launder freshly printed dollars.

Pretty sure neither of us commenting here could ever compare to what either of these people accomplished then, and now. This is a post about looks, not accomplishments. I'm sure all of us fail either way... I mean, were I gorgeous and a billionaire? I would be too busy typing right now. Instead I'm fat n' happy looking at pictures on the internet while waiting for my laundry to dry.
