Billionaires: the richest People You’ve Never Heard Of

Paragraf 1: You might think enormous wealth guarantees instant notoriety. It doesn’t, some of the world’s richest people manage to stay below the detection of the public despite being worth billions. We are not talking about being famous and reclusive. We are talking about being flat-out unknown among the masses.

Paragraf 2: Sure, most people know of billionaires like corporate financer Carl Icahnm Hong Kong Business magnate Li Ka Shing and Italian media mogul and former Prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. But what of Susanne Klatten? Or Briggit Rausing? Or John Sall? They have the kind of money rest of us can only dream. And yet here’s betting that you’ve never heard of them, even if u’re familiar with the companies or products that made them wealthy.

Paragraf 3: Sall, worth $4,4 billion when Forbes last valuated his fortune in September 2007 as part of our annual Forbes 400 Ranking, co-founded privately held software giant SA5, where he remains executive Vice President. Klatten is a member of Germany’s Quandt Family, which owns 50 % of Ger man chem ical co mpany A ltana. For bes last est imated he r for tune In March at 59,6 billion as part of our annual billionaire rankings although that was before she received half of the proceeds fro m Altana ’s $6 bi llio n sale of its P harmaceut ica l business to Nycomed last year. And Rausing? She and her three children have a combined fortune of about $11 billion after inheriting ownership of packaging giant tetra level. Never heard of Tetra? Ever slurp down a refreshment from a juice box ? That’s them.

Paragraf 4: Sitting through the names of obscure billionaires can invite some surprises. For example, take the case of Peter Buck. No, not the guitarist from R.E.M - this Peter Buck lent a family friend $1.000 in 1965 to start a sandwich shop. Today, as a result is Subway restaurants. You think that being co-founder of a fast food giant would gain you some name recognition. But it’s probably safe to say that few people not named Jared have ever heard of Buck. Much the same could be said about Bradley Hughes. No, not the PGA golfer from Australia. Like Buck, Hughes started a business that you’ve probably heard of it. It has 2,100 locations in 38 states. If you’re an incureable pack rat, you might be a customer. Give up? Hughes is the founder and chairman and of public Storage (nyse: PSA - news - people). Then there’s copper- mining magnate Vladimir Kim, who cuts an unlikely figure on a lot of different levels. The guy’s worth a cool $5,5 billion, making him the richest person in post-Soviet republics outside of Russia. He is also a lot wealthier than silicon valley billionaires Meg Whitman, Jerry Yang, and John Doerr. Despite the presumed geographic disadvantages of hailing from Kazakhstan. And Kim is the richest ethnic Korean on the planet, with a fortune that far surpasses even that of Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-Hee.
