This list of billionaires is based on an annual ranking of the world's wealthiest people compiled and published by Forbes magazine on 5 March, 2008.[1] Forbes is an American, national business magazine. The total net worth is an estimate measured in United States dollars, based on the closing stock prices of the stock exchanges on which each person's company is listed on, and exchange rates on 11 February, 2008. Stock prices are defined as shares of ownership in a corporation, and exchange rates are defined as how much one currency is worth in terms of another. This list only represents each person's valuation on a single day due to daily fluctuations among exchange rates and stock valuations.
