These are the real richest men in the world Bill Gates not inclusive

Dark Wealth: The World’s Richest Who Don’t Appear On The Forbes List.

1.Ilham Aliyev

Ilham Aliyev makes the equivalent of $228,000 annually, but occasional high-profile purchases within Aliyev’s family reveal much more. The president’s 12-year-old son bought nine luxury waterfront mansions in southern Dubai for “about $44 million — or roughly 10,000 years’ worth of salary for the average citizen of Azerbaijan. These type of investments are typical of high-profile politicians and athletes who need to hide money.

2.Wen Jiabao

Wen Jiabao’s name is in Forbes. But the real interesting thing about the former Chinese prime minister is his estimated $2.7 billion is hidden all over the place through a vast familial network.An investigation published in 2012 does a good job of explaining the complicated web of finances that make up the Jiabao fortune, ultimately landing at the $2.7 billion figure. From that investigation, it appears the family — including Jiabao’s mother and children — amassed most of their money while he ran the country.

3.Vladimir Putin

Unofficially, Vladimir Putin is the richest man in the world with more than twice as much money as Bill Gates. Again, though, that’s unofficial.Donald Trump may be rich. But his wealth pales in comparison to a man he seems to admire very much: Vladimir Putin. The president of Russia has served as both president and prime minister since 1999. Over that period of time, Putin and other Russian oligarchs have been at work pilfering billions from their country and stashing it all over the world. Recent testimonyfrom financier Bill Browder (as a part of the ongoing Russia-Trump scandal) estimated his net worth at $200 billion. That would make him the richest man in the world.

4.The Rothschilds

You’ve likely heard of the Rothschilds. And though there are a few members of the family who make an appearance on the “world’s richest” lists, we’re including the family on this list because, well, the amount of money it has is a bit understated. The family fortune is divided up a number of ways, but when you add it all up you get a number that is estimated to be in the trillions by some. But it’s probably more in the neighborhood of $400 billion.

5.House of Sauds

With a total fortune of an estimated $1.4 trillion, the House of Saud controls a staggering amount of wealth. As Saudi Arabia’s royal family, the family has built most of its wealth through the extraction of oil, which has also helped the country gain considerable political influence and sway on the international stage. Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the current king of Saudi Arabia, is worth more than a billion all on his own. But like many others on our list, the family’s wealth is spread far, wide, and away from prying eyes.

6.Bashar al-Assad

Most of us are familiar with Bashar al-Assad as we have followed the ongoing crisis and disaster in Syria. Assad is another long-sitting Middle Eastern dictator who has more or less used his country as a personal piggy bank. While official estimates put his wealth at a fairly reasonable amount — around $1.5 billion, typically — others suspect he has way, way more than that. Like Mubarak, it’s theorized that Assad’s fortunes are hidden all over and add up to more than $120 billion.
