    BRICs led the way: Brazil, Russia, India and China produced 108 of the 214 new names. These four nations are home to one in four members, up from one in 10 five years ago.

      I guess it is fantastic to have them around, in  competition, with positions changing from time to time-some dropping out and new faces coming on. Without a doubt they are icons and role models.Some inherited their wealth built upon it, others started from scratch.In any case these are people who saw talent in them on self examination, they got the trigger to explore the talent, they followed up and explored the talent, they looked up for opportunities and applied themselves to advertise and sell their talents. The results is what they have got.For me it is not so much the power that comes with the wealth as the satisfaction of attaining and maintaining your goal which touches others as well.More grease to their elbows, however they must do a lot more to help spread the wealth evenly, there is so much weath on this planet.
