Meg Whitman's $1.3 Billion Net Worth Makes Her #773 On Forbes World List
Edited on Thu Sep-30-10 11:14 PM by TomCADem
She is #332 on the U.S. list, so I guess according to GOP standards, she must be one of those small business owners who would be harmed by President Obama's proposal to let the Bush tax cuts for the richest Americans expire.

Forbes 400 #332

World Billionaires #773


Whitman has spent a record $119 million of her own money on her gubernatorial campaign, beating the previous campaign record set by Mike Bloomberg, who spent $109 million on his 2009 mayoral race. She won the Republican primary in August and will face former Governor Jerry Brown in November. She stepped down as chief executive of eBay in January 2008 but still has $500 million in stock.

1. They forgot to count the $120M she's already wasted on her doomed campaign
that would move her up to #666. :evilgrin:

2. I so desperately want her not to win and spend the rest of her life wondering why she couldn't...
...buy the election. Preferably, spending her remaining monies on alcohol to drown her sorrow and confusion.

Is that too much to ask?!?

Oh, and I want her to drunkenly roam the streets in a bathrobe with a shit streak up the back and with her hair like that crazy McCain supporter who thought Obama was a Muslim.

Ok, that is probably too much to ask.

Still...

5. The only lesson she'll learn
is that it's cheaper to buy politicians than be be one.
