They're all listed in dollars at the sources I've looked at, seems quite pointless to convert them all wouldn't you say?  No because we are in the UK where the currency is pounds sterling. Besides which the dollars value is dropping like a tarts knickers these days so all those estimates of wealth are undoubtedly wrong. 'We are in the UK where the currency is the pound sterling'....well, I hope you enjoy it while it lasts, pal, because after last Friday's stitch-up by your Govt, your currency will soon be the Euro - you, know, the one that the Frech & Germans are complaining about because its now 'too strong' against the dollar, so they can't sell the Yanks their cars, cheese, wine, perfume etc etc.... Maybe the assets should have been quoted in Euros...!!??? |

And the US was always such a loyal customer to France  My point is that Ashley made his fortune in pounds sterling, quoting a foreign currency is laziness. |

What matters is that the comparison being made will be no different no matter what currency its converted into so its pointless to do so. If you feel some need to have everything in pounds for no reason then be my guest, I won't bother thanks |

Well obviously yes, 2sheds does He would like me to quote each amount of money in the currency where the person made that money. So I'd convert Ashley's fortune into pounds, Abramovich's fortune into Rubles, Shiniwatra's into Baht ect. I mean we would then have a comparison that wouldn't actually be comparable.. but 2sheds would be ecstatic so who cares? EDIT: I'd assumed Russia had changed to Euro but apparently not |

You see, Teasy, 2sheds has a problem with America per se. This would never have happened had you stumbled upon a website quoting in Euros.
