The United States has now 391 multi-millionaires, 98 less than just a year ago. Warren Buffet lost 10 billion dollars during the last 12 months, something that no one in the United States could beat. Buffet was crowned in 2008 the richest man in the world and had to admit this year that his friend Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft) was richer, losing 3 billion less. Only 28 Americans in the top 400 succeeded to increase their fortune this year. An example was a banker from Texas and passionate pokerplayer named Andrew Beal, he bought cheap loans and assets in the middle of the crisis .
