Chapter 739: The richest man in the world
Financial media outlets, including Empire, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and BusinessWeek, have made bold forecasts after New Global Group released last year's annual report.
In this year's list of the world's richest people, Donn Walker will be among the top three!
But how much money does he have?
The calculation of wealth is a confused account.
It's hard to tell.
The most authoritative magazine in this area is Forbes.
The official Forbes rich list is usually released in May and June every year.
However, perhaps to increase sales in an era of declining traditional industries, Forbes magazine has launched a new list of the top 10 richest people in the United States.
Once baked, the all-American fryer!
No. 10: Larry Ellison, $18.7 billion, Oracle, 59;
No. 9: Robertson Walton, $20 billion, Walmart, 60;
No. 8, John Walton, $20 billion, Wal-Mart, 58;
No. 7, Jim Walton, $20 billion, Wal-Mart, 56;
sixth place, Helen Walton, $20 billion, Walmart, 84;
fifth, Alice Walton, $20 billion, Walmart, 55;
fourth, Paul Allen, $21 billion, Microsoft, 51;
third place, Warren Buffett, $42.9 billion, diversified investment, 73 years old;
second place, Bill Gates, $46.6 billion, Microsoft, 48;
No. 1, Don Walker, New Globe Group, $60.2 billion, 26 years old!
To be honest, when he saw this list, Tang En was also quite shocked.
He really didn't expect that Forbes magazine would be able to estimate his worth so high!
I thought it was the same level as Warren Buffett. Unexpectedly, he surpassed Bill Gates and became the richest man in the United States for the first time!
Of course, he is also the richest man in the world!
For a top rich man of Donn's level, wealth is just a number. However, the process of pursuing wealth and the glory of reaching the top of the list, is joyful.
In fact, how much money he has, he himself does not know.
He has invested in a lot of companies and has a lot of assets.
However, most companies are not listed and do not have an exact market capitalization.
How did Forbes magazine's $60.2 billion worth come about?
Don informed his finance team and asked them to do a rough math and give a result as well.
Soon, an asset valuation statement was taken out.
10% Google at $1.2 billion, 10% Hasbro at $240 million, 6% Amazon at $1.84 billion, 15% Legendary Pictures at $900 million, 30% Space at $80 million, 16.5% Apple at $690 million, 85.6% New Globe at $51.3 billion, 80% Scott Swift Ventures at $2 billion......
Plus a variety of real estate, luxury cars, airplanes, antiques, and other financial ...... worth $1.5 billion
Donn's private finance team has made an $59.8 billion assessment of all his assets!
It's not much different from Forbes magazine's $60.2 billion wealth estimate.
"Am I so rich?"
Don muttered to himself when he saw the two pieces of data on the left and right.
I was really shocked.
Quietly, he became the richest man in the world?
But why don't you feel it at all?
Don couldn't help but grimace.
It stands to reason that the imaginary richest man in the world should be extravagant and extravagant.
However, the only wealth at his disposal was the $550 million in cash that Towne Capital had.
Unless it's selling stocks to cash out, or using various assets to take out loans.
As for the New Globe Group, it is even more difficult, if Tang wants to focus on the development of several businesses such as tourism and vacation, consumer goods, and interactive entertainment this year, he will have to borrow money to get by.
I don't feel like the richest man in the world at all!
Don looked confused.
However, the media from the outside world completely fried the pot!
Has the world's richest man been replaced?
Is it 26-year-old Donn Walker?
Personal wealth is more than 13 billion dollars more than that of Bi Gates?
This is also a shock!
Major media have reported one after another, CNN, FOX News Channel, CBS and other channels, and even made special reports, making a detailed description of Tang's personal assets and family history.
Such a rich list, the degree of shock, is even no less than the "9/11 incident" of that year, and it has really caused a strong psychological impact on a large number of people.
Especially the students who are still in their twenties and still studying in the university, one by one, they are like mourning and want to cry without tears.
Don didn't go to college!
This became the richest man in the world, I heard that ...... Those big beauties in Hollywood, you can still pick and play casually, what kind of life is that?
People are more than people, they can't compare!
"Jasmine, how's your job?"
Different from the widespread exclamation of the outside world, the new global headquarters is filled with a joyful atmosphere.
On the one hand, it was Tang En who became the richest man in the world, which made the employees of the entire group shine brightly;
On the other hand, it is the latest blockbuster "Dumbo", which has released its first-week box office results.
In three days of release, it grossed $82 million in North America and $75 million overseas.
In just three days, it got a global box office of $150 million, which is really gratifying!
You know, this is mid-February, it's awards season, and it's the box office off-season.
In the past, February was usually a market for award-winning films, horror films, and cult films, and major production companies did not dare to put commercial blockbusters over at all.
The first film "Dumbo" cooperated by Rose Pictures and Disney broke the routine and bravely broke into the awards season!
As a result, it was a great success!
The success of the first co-production indicates that the cooperation between Rose Pictures and Disney will have a very bright future.
It's a pleasure.
Don is no longer so dedicated to film affairs, for him, it's all pediatrics. His focus is on Jasmine Bloom, who has been working at New Universal for a week.
However, so far, no woman has been arranged for Donne.
In the past week, Donn's red couch has of course been lit by some women, including Rose Byrne, Naomi Watts, Milla Jovovich and other beauties.
But they were all called by Don himself, and had nothing to do with Jasmine Bloom.
"Yes...... Some eyebrows. ”
Jasmine Bloom was a little ashamed and a little apologetic.
After all, she is a newcomer to the entertainment industry, and it will take some time for her to be qualified for the job of "life assistant" and have harmonious contact with those high-end women.
Don glared at her angrily, "How long will it take?"
Jasmine Bloom said uncertainly, "A week...... Or two weeks. ”
"The daylilies are cold!"
"Or ...... How's the athlete going?"
Jasmine Bloom blinked, and said suddenly.
"Huh?" Donn was stunned, "Athlete?"
Jasmine Bloom laughed, "Don't you know? I've been a professional athlete before, and I've won medals on behalf of my country on international stage." ”
Don hesitated.
He knows.
Athletes in the United States are not under the responsibility of the state, and many sports are not market-oriented, which means that there is no income. This gave birth to a gray industry, and many beautiful female athletes have to rely on private "work" to make a living.
Leonardo has looked for beautiful athletes many times, had a lot of fun, and recommended it to Donne. The price is really expensive, a night ...... It can reach up to $1 million.
Seeing Donn's expression, Jasmine Bloom smiled and said, "Not like that...... I know what you mean. I'm talking about market-oriented athletes, many of whom are run by agencies, just like Hollywood stars. Many of them are actually cultivated by brokerage companies since childhood, and then sign contracts, and then let them make money to give back when they grow up. ”
At this moment, Don En was interested, and blinked, "Do you have a relationship?"
Jasmine Bloom said: "IMG not only manages the management of entertainment artists, but also athletes. Last month, I watched the Australian Open, and I was very impressed by a young Russian girl. Although she stopped in the third round, she ...... All in all beautiful. ”
"Who's the beautiful tennis player in Russia?"
A name popped into Don's mind.
O Sharapova!
The fame is great.
Unexpectedly, Jasmine Bloom immediately confirmed the result: "Her name is Maria, Maria Sharapova, and she is only 17 years old this year. She is a signed artist of IMG and has been cultivated since childhood. ”
"American companies, training athletes for Russia?" Donn's eyes widened, very surprised.
Jasmine Bloom blinked with a strange look, "What's the matter? Do you know that 40% of their annual income has to be handed over to the brokerage company, which is much more ruthless than entertainment stars!"
Tang En shook his head, which was a bit in conflict with his traditional Eastern thinking, and said, "What if she meets an American athlete and wins?"
Jasmine Bloom asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?
All right.
Don was a little speechless.
The market-oriented movement, and the state system...... There is indeed a big difference.
"What do you think? Do you want her?"
"Uh...... Can you get in touch?"
Jasmine Bloom nodded, "Almost, I've signed with IMG before, and I know some acquaintances." ”
Don frowned: "But she's only 17 years old, that's a problem." ”
"Finished playing the Australian Open...... She must be preparing for Wimbledon, or will she wait a few months and go straight to Wimbledon to watch the match?" said Jasmine Bloom tentatively.
Donn smiled, "I didn't expect you to be a tennis fan, but I'm a football fan!"
"American football?"
"It's not. ”
"Australian Rules Football?"
"It's not. ”
"It's not going to be soccer, is it?"
Tang Endu laughed angrily, "Soccer is the world's number one sport, okay? Forget it, don't talk about this, you Americans, cultural turtles, don't understand aesthetics!"
Jasmine Bloom laughed, thinking that Donn was American humor, "You're the richest man in the world, aren't you going to buy a football team......?" Soccer?"
"Buy a soccer team?"
Don groaned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
It's a good choice.
My brother is the richest man in the world, what's wrong with buying a team to play?
Besides, investing in football clubs is also an industry with high returns.
It can also quickly accumulate prestige and influence.
It can also give full play to the advantages of Donn's foresight.
"What about Sharapova?
"Okay, that's it, Wimbledon...... I'll take a look. ”
Donn nodded.
Earn money and ...... Oh no, career and love, it's not wrong.
By the way, go to England and talk about football clubs. (https:)
