Sunday Times Rich list 2004

Dam those Indian's work so hard!

If only they could bottle "the fear" and feed it to the White work force!c

Indeed. I would LOVE to see a 100 percent tax on income over 200 k a year and 100 percent inheritance tax. The beginning of my socialist agenda

A bit harsh

I wonder how many of them actually make good use of their money to ppl or projects that do really need cash.

Like me

People like that have far too much money I bet they dont know what to do wiith it.....I wonder what it feels like to think like that!

Some of them put bundles into their own charities not sure how or if this is then filted onto the needy. Here is the list:

Dr. Rausing's slipping a bit, he used to be the richest man in Britain.

Everything you drink from a carton, his father's responsible for. Unlikely way of building a fortune!

wowh that was real nice

get some credit

Think i is gonna make me meself look scruffy (more so than normal!!) and go and sit at the Haymarket, could really do with £50 right now

what do u expect - he's the owner of microsoft - wonder what he does with all his dosh, i know he gives some to charity - but it's only a tiny percentage.

yup!!
anyway.....aint they meant to be putting tax on the dosh money charities receive?....pah theyre getting less, tut tut, it makes me sick when sum ppl have silly amounts of money they cud never even spend in alifetime! xx

he buys cocaine

a vast majority if not all of bill gates's money is going into charity research when he dies apparently... wants his family to survive without his wealth...

unlucky....
