ARAB BILLIONAIRES 2008!!

Every year ArabianBusiness.com comes out with their 'World's 50 Richest Arabs' list. These are the richest and most powerful Arabs! They are involved in every kind of business and commerce you can imagine. They are the movers and shakers of the business world!

What follows is the complete 2008 list of the world's richest Arabs. Please note that there are 49 names on the list, not 50. This is because ArabianBusiness.com lists number 30 on their list as "Entry removed due to calculation error" so I did not include that on this list.
