BNE: Forbes magazine has released its nineteenth annual list of the worlds richest people. It comes as no surprise that Bill Gates tops the list for the eleventh straight year. His wealth, at $46.5 billion ($46,500,000,000), was slightly down on last years $46.4 billion, although he probably isnt losing sleep over this. Second richest was American investor Warren Buffet ($44bn), and third was Indias Lakshmi Mittal ($25bn). Other unbelievably rich people in the top 100 include Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich (#21), Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi (#25), E-Bay founder Pierre Omidyar (#35) and Benetton boss Luciano Benetton (#35). Forbes said the number of billionaires increased to a record 691 this year (341 from the USA) compared with last year's 587. Of these, 68 are women, including disgraced American businesswoman Martha Stewart. The billionaires are from 45 different countries, including first-timers, Kazakhstan, Poland, Ukraine and Iceland. The youngest is Germanys Prince Albert von Turn und Taxis, who is just 21. Next are Googles co-founders Larry Page, 32, and Sergey Brin, 31. Forbes says it takes more than brilliance and elbow grease to become a billionaire, and that certain personality types are more likely to make it to their list. They have an interactive quiz on their website to test if you have a billionaire personality (www.forbes.com). WARM UPS 1. CHAT: Talk in pairs or groups about money / Bill Gates / being a billionaire / E-Bay / Silvio Berlusconi / Martha Stewart / 21-year-old billionaire / billionaire personality / To make things more dynamic, try telling your students they only have one minute (or 2) on each chat topic before changing topics / partners. Change topic / partner frequently to increase conversation. 2. BILLIONAIRE BRAINSTORM: Spend one minute writing down all of the different words you associate with the word billionaire. Share your words with your partner / group and talk about them. 3. BEING A BILLIONAIRE: Talk in groups about being a billionaire. Write down five questions you would ask a real billionaire. Role play being incredibly rich. Walk around the class talking to other billionaires about your life and ask your questions (Are you a self-made billionaire? What do you do every day? Are you wonderfully happy? etc.). 4. 2-MINUTE MONEY DEBATES: Students face each other in pairs and engage in the following (for-fun) 2-minute debates. Students A are assigned the first argument, students B the second. Rotate pairs to ensure a lively pace and noise level is kept: Money is the root of all evil. vs. I love money. Money cant make you happy. vs. Honestly, really, truly, it can. Rich people are stingy. vs. Many rich people are very generous. Rich people forget about their old friends. vs. Thats not true. Capitalism is wonderful for giving us all a dream. vs. For most people in the world it is a nightmare. Rich people are great role models. vs. You mean Silvio Berlusconi and Martha Stewart? Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves. vs. But this wont make you a billionaire. Bill Gates should give $44bn to charity. He can survive on $1bn. vs. Hes worked hard for his money. Its great the wealth is spreading to other countries. vs. There are no African billionaires in the top 50. We can all be billionaires. vs. How? PRE-READING IDEAS 1.
