I thought that the list of forbes had 100 entries. What happened there. More people wanted to see their name on that list and they put more? Just looking how much money the first one has each time, is enough to make you stop reading. No need ruining the whole day of yours, going to the end of that list

Adelson is very rich, iver 30 billions is sioer big

This billionaire has not lost so much of poker as says in this material. In 2004 Andrew Beal win a big pot 11,7 millions dollars and it was not the only time when he won. For these people this amount of money is not that big. They can lose much but this rich people produce big money.

I have seen Andrew Beal playing high-stakes poker on YouTube. I didn't know he was the founder and chairman of Beal Bank. $10.4 billion in assets? Wow! That is an insane amount of money. Does he have his own island? Does he even have a time machine?

Are business people who risk a lot in life and many of them manage to accumulate colossal sums. For them the competition weighs a lot and for that they do a lot of things to stay in the top. When you have a lot of money you can relax playing a few million dollars. It's a fad for them.
