They don't have stacks of 1s, you know

All you stalkers out there or women (and possibly men) who want to marry rich, here's the perfect opportunity to set your eyes on some of the wealthiest men on the face of the goddamn Earth. The Forbes billionaires list has been released, and should you want to skip the complications of going after somebody with high standards, you should consider the geeky search figures on it.

In the order inscribed on the back of the playing shirts, first there's
philanthropic Bill Gates, ranking third, with a net worth of $58 billion. He might not be the prettiest on the face of the planet, or the youngest, but he's a good catch. Or his wallet is, take your pick. His old buddy Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, is full of life, as you'll see in the video embedded below, and loaded as well. How would $18.7 billion sound like, should you know your hubby owns them? He's ranked 43rd, but if you're reading this and considering it, you're not aiming for the top, are you?

On to another team, that of Googlers, they're on the list as well, and pretty well represented. Founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page are next to each other, with $18.7 billion, respectively $18.6 billion, ranking 32nd and 33rd. The bad news for those into marrying them is that they have pretty recently exchanged vows (not to each other!), but I trust you to be resourceful enough to deal with the minor inconvenient. Another big face at Google on the Forbes list is CEO Eric Schmidt, but he's way lower, 142nd with $6.6 billion, and just for the record, Omid Kordestani of the Mountain View-based company is 553rd with $2.2 billion.

Yahoo!, the Internet pioneer, has people waving stacks of cash as well, with David Filo worth $2.5 billion, at 462, and Jerry Yang, co-founder and CEO, having amassed only $2.3 billion, ranking 524th. Got your 'shopping' list sketched out?
