Billionaires got richer in 2008
These Billionaires Actually Got Richer in 2008.* Mayor Mike. Who says government is bad for wealth? Financial-data king and New York City Mayor Michael Blomberg added $4.5 billion to his fortune to rack up a net worth of $16 billion. Forbes doesn’t really give a reason, saying only that it is due to a “re-evaulation” of his company after he bought out Merrill’s stake in news and information provider Bloomberg LP.
* John Paulson. The hedge funder’s Advantage Fund rose 38%, doubling his fortune to $6 billion.
* Jim Simons. The hedge funder’s Medallion Fund surged 80% last year, using “complex algorithms,” giving Mr. Simons a $2.5 billion boost to $8 billion.
* Tadashi Yanai. Japan’s richest guy and his family gained $2.6 billion from their discount clothing business, Fast Retailing.
* George Soros. The king of gloom and doom added $2 billion to his war chest and now has a net worth of $11 billion, largely with bearish bets at his hedge fund.
* John Arnold. The fresh-faced head of Centaurus Energy is said to be up 80% this year, kicking his net up $1.2 billion to $2.7 billion. He now is moving into hard assets like power plants and storage facilities.

Paulson the man who made too much - I call him man with iron balls
Following high school in Brooklyn, Paulson moved on to New York University, which in the 1970s offered a popular seminar taught by John Whitehead, then a senior partner at Goldman Sachs. Paulson listened, fascinated, as Robert Rubin, later secretary of the Treasury under Bill Clinton and now an unofficial adviser to Barack Obama—talked about the mysterious and new (to Paulson, anyway) world of risk arbitrage. At the time, the scholarly, soft-spoken Rubin was viewed, at least by Paulson’s professor, as the smartest partner at Goldman Sachs; he was certainly the richest. Paulson graduated first in the class of 1978, with visions of arbitrage in his future.

How to hide 50 billion dollars ? Interesting any takers
Instead, a white-collar fraudster like Madoff could create multiple phony investment-advisory businesses in foreign countries, similar to legitimate businesses he's actually working with. Says Reich: "All he has to do is create fake invoices over the years and pay in to those fake companies, then create new phony businesses in other countries, have the monies transferred to them, and then close down the original fake businesses. It's how the mob does it; the money trail is wiped clean.
