@JonathanMBR exactly, I still remember when #Arafat of #Palestine died, he had an estimated wealth of 4 billion USD (would make him #8 in the list above), to the point that his wife, through inheritance, made it to the top 100 wealthiest back then. that, given he was under siege from #Israel, poor Palestinian authority with no industry or significant sources of national income. how much more accumulated wealth would politicians in #egypt or #southafrica (for example) have !
