| Abstract: | It's frugal 1990s, and the world's 233 wealthiest individuals and families seem to be cooling the spending. One reason conspicuous consumption has become less popular: Times are a bit tough even for those in the lap of luxury - the net worth of the average billionaire on our list hasn't risen by as much as a C-note since last year. The Sultan of Brunei remains the wealthiest, but if you weren't born into a royal family, take hope: A number of the ultra-rich, like Bill Gates, are self-made. |
