Rich4god:Nigeria is beautiful, most especially Jos and other places in the country. But there's something so unique about their nature, the landscapes, rockies/hills/mountains, lakes, and so on. They're amazing, cant compare, though ive never had the opportunity of travelling outside this country, but as a nature lover, ive seen pictures, movies, and documentaries. You can try and google most amazing landscapes or destination for nature lovers around the world and you will see. |
corisande:Smiles, obudu is really amazing. Thanks sis. |
11. AZIM PREMJI. EST. NET WORTH $19.1BN. One of the richest men in India, the chairmanof Wipro, he’s known for his focused concernwith the company’s resources. That extends to monitoring toilet-paper and switching off lights when leaving an office; apparently he still takes rickshaws to and from the airport. http://www.thegentlemansjournal.com/10-billionaires-live-surprisingly-normal-lives/ cc: Dominique

10. CARLOS SLIM HELÚ: EST. NET WORTH $70BN. He’s up there with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett competing for the title of richest man in the world but Slim is by no means an excessive spender. The mobile phone magnate owns a 6-bedroom home, and has done for the past three decades; he also drives himself to work everyday.

9. Jim C. Walton, WalMart heir and Chair of Arvest Bank. Net worth: $34.7 billion. Jim C. Walton is the youngest son of Walmart founder Sam Walton, who was also well-known as a penny pincher. Walton owns a great deal of stock in Walmart and runs Arvest Bank, which is a personal wealth management company managed by his family.His business takes place not in a fancy high rise, but in a forgettable brick building. He and his wife still live in Arkansas, where he was born. Many of the world’s wealthiest businessmen will tell you that having a large fortune allows you the freedom to do what you want, when you want, and not have to answer to anyone. Most enjoy lavish lifestyles, soaking up the spotlight and wasting their millions on ridiculously extravagant luxuries.But these humble and frugal CEOs enjoy a different lifestyle, and each can attest that spending their fortunes on causes that improve our world can be a much more satisfying experience that lasts. https://www.supermoney.com/2015/05/inspirational-ceos-humble-lives/?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C2706929098

6. Jose Mujica, Uruguayan President(1978 Volkswagen Beetle). Jose Mujica, president of Uruguay since 2010, is known to be the world’s poorest president. Jose donates more than 90% of his $12,000 per month salary to benefit the poor and to help small entrepreneurs. If we need more of anything in this world, it would be more people like this. This man doesn’t put value on his appearance or clothes. He is criticized for his posture and clothes, but Jose puts more value on other things in life instead. The president and his wife work the land themselves, growing flowers. This austere lifestyle and the fact that Mujica donates about 90% of his monthly salary, equivalent to $12,000 (£7,500), to charity has led him to be labelled the poorest president in the world." I'm called the poorest president', but I don't feel pooI, ive lived like this most of my life," he says, sitting on an old chair in his garden, using a cushion favoured by Manuela the dog. "I can live well with what I have." His charitable donations which benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs mean his salary is roughly in line with the average Uruguayan income of $775 (£485) a month. source: http://astoundable.com/worlds-poorest-president/

5. Travis Kalanick, Co-founder of taxi app service Uber (does not own a car, just hails an Uber cab). The 38 year old serial entrepreneur dropped out of UCLA and co-founded companies like Scour Inc. and peer-to-peer file-sharing platform Red Swoosh before teaming up with Garrett Camp to start the famous ride-sharing service Uber in 2009. The company was recently valued at $18.2 billion and though his share in Uber is not known, but he needs to own 5.49% of the company to join the billionaires’ club. But despite his billion plus net-worth, Travis uses his Uber’s ride-on-demand service to get around.

4. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. The American business magnate and investor was born in New Mexico and his humble beginnings is considered as one of the crucial reasons for his massive success.

He has a net-worth of more than $6 billion but drives a Volkswagen R32.
|
2. Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg is one of the youngest billionaires in the planet. But he definitely does not want to show the world all his wealth, as seenin the car that he chooses to drive. In fact, he is the youngest billionaire in the list who owns a very inexpensive car an Acura TSX that costs only $30,000. Zuckerberg prefers wearing jeans, shirts or hoodies, and sandals over expensive suits and leather shoes. His wedding with Priscilla Chan was held in his backyard. And the couple were seen eating at McDonalds while they were on their honeymoon in Italy.

1. Ingvar Kamprad. Ingvar Kamprad is the founder of Ikea and has a net worth of at least $28 billion. Other billionaires may have chosen cheap cars and can be deemed as humble, well-grounded people. But if being thrifty is concerned, nothing beats Kampard as he chose to drive a humble Volvo 240, which only costs $1500. Aside from that, he prefers to take the bus from time to time.

Billionaires are often thought of as lavish spenders, splurging on collections such as big houses, private resorts, clothes, shoes, and the most common of them all, cars. Many think that if they look at the garage of the world’s wealthiest, they’d surely find a Ferrari, Bentley or a Rolls Royce in it. But of course, there are still those billionaires who drive cars just like the average people do. In short, they choose to be humble and show the world that cars are not the status symbol of being extremely rich. Believe it or not, there are still quite a lot of humble billionaires out there. Here are some billionaires, celebrities who actually drive inexpensive cars. source: http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/nation/the-top-10-billionaires-who-drive-the-cheapest-cars/ http://luxurylaunches.com/transport/10-tech-billionaires-and-the-humble-and-the-not-so-humble-cars-they-drive.php#sthash.85Gv9wZI.dpbs
