The Richest Men Ever

27 09 2008

Every man, if he has the man can make huge changes around him whether good or bad. If you’re thinking that Bill Gates is on top of this list, well you’re half correct and in this post, we’ll be talking about people who has or had endless material gifts.

10. Carlos Slim Helu ( 60 Billion USD)

This Mexican communications tycoon has always been a businessman and when he tells you that his passion is making money, you better believe him. From 2005-5007, his wealth has doubled and on a daily basis during that period, he earns as much as 27 million USD a day. Basically, this man has over 200 companies under him and he never really liked being part of this list in the first place.

9. Warren Buffett ( 62 Billion USD)

The man is smart and he takes advantages of the slow economy to make huge acquisitions. He was last reported to have bought Wrigley for a staggering amount of 23 billion and has donated 31 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.

8.Sam Walton (62.1 billion USD)

When you talk about Walmart, there’s only one man to thank and that’s Sam Walton. This man innovated convenience stores by offering variety and limitless hours. Aside from that, He also set the stage for efficient, cost-effective central warehousing of merchandise, which extended his competitive reach into tinier markets and well beyond his first store in Arkansas.

7.Marshall Field (63.7 Billion USD)

The customer is always right philosophy came from this man. With him, exchanging damaged goods with warranty was instituted and displaying the prices of items on his stores. During his time, these were unheard of and he certainly took advantage. He ventured to other business as well, although his departments stores are his best legacy.

6. Frederick Weyerhaeuser (76.5 Billion USD)

This man lived during the 19th century but managed to climb this list at no. 6. Without a doubt, Frederick Weyerhaeuser reconfigured the whole lumber industry and aside from making billions during the civil war, he also helped thousands to land jobs.

5. John Jacob Astor ( 116.6 billion USD)

This man made billions through fur and because of it, he became the US’ first millionaire. He simply heard someone discussing fur trading and upon realizing that he can earn big bucks, he set up his own company and worked hard to get to the top. The man was also pretty clever, because he made several billion dollars through opium before finally stopping in real estate.

4. Bill Gates ( 124 Billion USD)

Everybody knows that this man is the most popular richest man ever. Despite of the current setbacks of Microsoft, this man Harvard dropout is still ranked at the top four with an estimated wealth pegged at 124 billion USD. After decades of earning money, he has established the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, which is reported to be 38 billion USD worth already.

3. Cornelius Vanderbilt ( 178.4 billion USD)

This man made it big by playing dirty and as a consequence, he didn’t have a lot of friends but he earned a lot of money. This man really cut down the prices of steamboat, even if that means he is no longer going to profit so just he can make a point. The man was monstrously competitive and that also spelled the difference for his success. At the end of the day, he wasn’t nice but he was there to win.

2. Andrew Carnegie (297 billion USD)

Steel was what made Andrew Carnegie rich in the late 1800’s and the great thing about this guy is that he also shared it with less fortunate people. The man wasn’t rich when he was younger and that made him work hard to get to the pinnacle of his success. His progress was slow but by the time he was already earning so much money, he doesn’t even have enough time to count it.

1.John D. Rockefeller ( 323 billion USD)

America’s first billionaire would have been as successful in oil as he was in the past. The man simply dominated the industry and because of that, he didn’t have a lot of friends either. Despite of the people who hated him he was also a serious philanthropist who tried to make people’s lives better around him.

Tattoos From Hell

27 09 2008

Tattoos are meant to signify something, whether it’s your passion or simply to show off, tattoos make a huge difference. But the thing is, why settle for the most common themes that can make you look like a real jerk? Here are some of the tattoos that every man should never have.

10. The Superhero Tattoo

Superman is great, Spiderman is slick, and Iron Man can make a million dollars in just a week in the box office. However, displaying these superheroes on your chest or biceps does not make you cool but worse, you’re a kid who has never grown up at all. To make a better alternative, why not put your family’s emblem and display it to everyone else? For sure your ancestors are going to be proud of you.

9. A Mythological Animal

If you’re just out of the prison, a mythical animal does not matter. However, if you want a significant emblem that will signify your beliefs, forget about it. It’s simply childish and outlandish instead, go for a lion or if you’re a real geek, a T-Rex.

8.Anchor

If you’re not a pirate or a naval person, there’s no way that an anchor should be imprinted on your body. The worse thing is, some people have this tattoo without even knowing how to swim. A better alternative is something that is related to your profession. For example, if you’re a lawyer, lady justice would do just fine. If you’re a stock trader, a bull tattoo definitely is a good choice. Lastly, if you’re a construction worker, a sledge hammer is pretty nifty.

7.An Icon

If you think that a Che Guevarra face is the most important face in the world, you’re probably half right. However, if you want that same face on any part of your body, that’s plain and simple ridiculous. The truth is, faces of real people just end up looking like idiotic caricatures on the skin. And that’s true, if the tattoo artist isn’t that good.

6.Allusion to Pop Culture

Tattoos such as LMAO, LOL, OMG or even I CAN HAS CHEESEBURGER can definitely make anyone laugh. The sad thought is, you will be committed to it for a life and that means, it will only fade away and be replaced by new ones. Instead, try quotes from sport figures, writers, and historians. These quotes’ messages are eternal and remind you all the time of some things that you should consider.

5.An Animated Character

Bugs Bunny and Sylvester the cat are great iconic characters that may have provided you with tons of entertainment when you were growing up. However, putting them on your shoulder blades will turn off women than you can ever have imagined. And you have to admit that you’re old enough to have a family and go to war, so just grow up.

4.A Barbed Wire

Back in the 80’s the barbed wire tattoo was the real thing. Two decades later, I don’t think it still rings a bell as it used to. The fact is, the idea of a barbed wire insignia is old and archaic so just drop the whole idea. A better alternative would be a roundabout text like a quote or an advice from your forefather.

3.A Chinese Symbol

Just like the Chinese, these Chinese tattoos are everywhere and with the rate that Mandarin is being spoken in the world today, I don’t think there’s still anything unique about having Chinese tattoos. A better alternative would be something from a Meso-American culture or Egyptian hieroglyphics that say something about peace and understanding. Now that’s nifty.

2.Your Wife’s Name

I know you love your wife but the truth is, what if you guys suddenly call it quits? Well that’s gonna be a big problem. Also, you can show your love by simply being loyal, considerate and understandable and most women are pretty ok with that. Instead, put your son’s or daughter’s name so you’ll remind yourself that you’ll be a great parent and you’ll do your best just for them.

1.Something on your face

Mike Tyson has one and aside from being a feared boxer, he’s not known to be a very good citizen at all. The thing is, you’re not going to work in a freak show right? If you’re a working professional, then a tattoo on your face will only scare away your boss or worse, future employers.
