Unit 31　　Meet the Ten Richest People in the World in 2000 (II)　　5. King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud　　Age: 77. Nationality: Saudi Arabian. Marital Status: Married. Children: 1. Worth: $28 Billion.　　Born in Riyadh in 1923, the King has spent his life on one diplomatic mission after another. He came to power in 1982, and all of his money is in oil, investments, property, and the sweat of his people. All because of the great defining factor of birth. Yes, birth and dumb luck.　　4. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah　　Age: 53. Nationality: Bruneian. Marital Status: Married. Children: 10. Worth: $30 Billion.　　The money of the 29th Sultan of Brunei is in, say it with me now, oil, gas, investments, and yes, the ever-popular sweat of his people. Especially that oil thing, which has made so many billionaires in the Middle East. The illustrious Sultan also has two wives and ten kids.　　3. Gardner Paul Allen　　Age: 46. Nationality: American. Marital Status: Single. Children: 0. Worth: $30 Billion　　Another Microsoft billionaire, Paul Allen is the buddy who dropped out with Bill Gates to build the software company that now holds a monopolistic stranglehold on the world. Paul dropped out of Microsoft some time ago to spend his time privately investing his money. He pursues his dream of a wired world by buying up cable operators and other technology-related companies. Its not all tedious tech stuff, though. Paul was also smart enough to invest in sports teams. Single guy, $30 billion, owns a couple of sports teams, knows Bill Gates personally...　　2. Warren Edward Buffet　　Age: 68. Nationality: American. Marital Status: Married. Children: 3. Worth: $36 Billion.　　Strangely enough, Buffets investment style is conservative, leaning more to the long-term buy. Warren owns about 40 percent of the investment conglomerate Berkshire Hathawa, and at over $47,000 a share, it will be a while before anyone buys him out.　　1. William H. Gates III　　Age: 43. Nationality: American. Martial Status: Marri
