This list holds if you don’t include the Ah Long syndicates, underground 4D operators, football bookies and of course, corrupted politicians.

One should take the listing only as a source of entertainment. I have seen articles on the blogosphere that attempted to spin political and racist tunes out of this otherwise entertaining and educational chart.

A feminist activist might even start a campaign on how unfair the chart is. Well, everyone has their own ways of interpreting the chart.

And one should not take these figures too seriously, unless of course, you are ranked no. 41 :-D

  • I think you got it wrong there. The net worth should be in BILLION and not MILLION.
  • Phil,

    Thanks for the notification! I've changed it from MIL to BIL.

    It sure makes a world of difference :-P

    Thanks again!
