On March 29, 2022, Visual Capitalist author Dorothy Neufeld wrote the article that accompanied the list of top ten (10) persons by category in the various lists shown below. Among the headliners are Warren Buffett, who leads Berkshire Hathaway (BRK). Berkshire in turn owns Clayton Homes, 21st Mortgage Corporation, Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance (VMF), Shaw and brands involved in manufactured housing. Bill Gates is a big stockholder in Berkshire too. While the top ten list below shows Elon Musk as the world’s richest person on that date, the list fails to reflect Vladimir Putin. CNN and Fortune are among the mainstream sources that in 2022 reported that Putin had a net worth estimated at “$200 billion.” Per CNN, “Browder testified before the US Senate in 2017 that he estimates the Russian leader’s wealth to hover around $200 billion.” Does anyone who grasps how big economics and government operate believe Putin had that much wealth 5 years ago think his net worth declined since 2017?

On 4.27.2019, “Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, controls a financial empire worth an estimated $200 billion, U.S. officials said Thursday.” Iran News Wire had a similar report, which added that “said that financial corruption was “rife in all parts of the Iranian Regime starting at the top.” It also said, “80% of Iranians suffer from poverty while four percent hold all the wealth in Iran.” So, once again – if that were so some 3 years ago, are thinking people to believe that Khamenei’s net worth declined or increased since then?

How many other examples like those can be found in corrupt regime’s globally?

Those two examples from Russia and Iran are just two of several possible examples that the “system is rigged” in numerous nations around the world. It isn’t just a catchy phrase that’s been used here in the U.S.A. for over 25 years.

 

 

 

This will be a reference report that will be periodically linked from other reports, much like we did with the MHLivingNews report linked below.

 

Let’s link up the previous report that explained the links between some of America’s wealthiest and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) investments. That’s not a conspiracy theory, it is the documented research from mainstream news sources, as our report below reflected.

 

Let’s note that despite the fact that ‘the system is rigged,’ that doesn’t mean that some in the USA (or some other nations) have ‘made it’ on their own guts and gumption. Odds are good you know several successful individuals, we do too, that have ‘earned it’ the old fashioned and honest way. That noted, to ignore the evidence of a rigged system is to do so at one’s own peril. Don’t look beyond former Presidents Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhauer (R) or John F. “Jack” Kennedy (D) who each sounded their own warnings against the military industrial complex or more specifically, the CIA.

 

 

Editorially, let’s note that the goal of the next HONEST administration in the U.S.A. should be to root out the corruption that has allowed some to get wildly wealthy, including public officials who often exempt themselves from laws that have made House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D) family worth some $120 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, and some say could top $200 million. Doubtlessly Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and now de facto ‘president’ Biden have become rich or richer through politics. Per public filings, President Trump’s net worth dropped during his 4 years in office.
