Hello, hello everyone, I'm Xiao Zhen ~
Forbes' latest rich list is released.
In first place is Amazon President Bezos at $191.4 billion, Second place is Tesla's Musk with $165.7 billion, and Bill Gates is fourth.
The first of China's richest people is Zhong Shui of Nongfu Shanquan, who is worth 62.6 billion US dollars, followed by Pony Ma and Tencent's Ma Huateng.
The poor hazel felt so sour that his tears were about to fall. Billions of units, or US dollars...
Woohoo
This time Trump is not nameless on the list, it is the first time in 25 years that he fell out of the Forbes US 400 rich list, foreign media said that Trump's value shrank by 1 billion US dollars in 5 years, that is to say, from his presidency, the ranking began to decline continuously, and then disappeared into the list...
But this time I want to talk about not the big guy in this list, but Paul Getty, who is known as the oil monster, who has been the world's richest man for 20 consecutive years, and Bill Gates has been less than him for 5 consecutive years.

When I was young, I was still a little handsome
Paul Getty, born in the United States in 1892 in a family of lawyers, lawyers, Middle-class Kochi family, the family only one child, you can imagine how much his parents love Paul.
Subsequently, Paul's father switched to the oil business, and in 1906 Paul became the second generation of the rich.
Paul graduated from Oxford university in 1913, where he studied economics and political science.
In 1914, the year after Paul graduated, he took $10,000 in start-up money from his father and began his entrepreneurial journey.
Paul excavated a prolific oil field the following year and ascended to the throne of a millionaire, when he was only 23 years old.
The first time it was so successful, Paul was more confident to continue to expand his business footprint, and by 1956 he was the world's richest man with $1 billion in assets.
Do you think that the rich people who usually spend a lot of money are either rich second generations or fast money, and the creation generation that is hard worked out by their own hands is almost all frugal people, and Paul Getty? It's almost frugal to the end, yes, yes, he's just slamming the door, slamming the door and opening the door - slamming the door to the house.
When staying in the hotel, I thought it was too expensive to wash the clothes in the hotel and washed myself. There seems to be nothing wrong with this, (poor people like me, just wash themselves... But he will already be super rich, and he will wash himself, and he will save money for laundry...
Because home phones are too expensive, there is a coin-operated telephone like a phone booth in the house. Wonderful.
I don't know if Paul is really literary or likes the smell of money emanating from art, likes to collect famous paintings and works of art, especially the stolen one, because he can bargain fiercely...
Van Gogh's iris
His own son fell ill but was unwilling to pay for his own son's medical treatment, resulting in his son's death.
The most classic thing is that once Paul's grandson was kidnapped and demanded a ransom of $17 million, which scared Paul to death, how could he ask for so much money! Paul said that he would not give a penny, after a long tug-of-war called bargaining, and finally agreed to pay 4 million US dollars, Paul still hesitated to procrastinate and did not pay the ransom, the kidnappers were angry, is this not a trick? Bargaining for half a day, all talk about the price, still dragging on not paying? So the kidnappers angrily cut off one of Paul's grandson's ears. The news report came out, the richest grandson was cut off by the kidnappers because the richest grandfather was unwilling to pay the ransom, headlines! Arrange on! Paul's daughter-in-law bought 1,000 copies of newspaper to send to Paul, you see!
In the end, Paul Getty only paid 2.2 million, and the rest let his son pay, which is very okay, because 2.2 million is just tax-free! I really can't blame others for being the richest man!
Paul Getty's obsession with money is comparable to Grande.'
Everyone is talking about how much money I've made, and I wonder what it will be like to make a lot of money. ------ Paul Getty
