How come I never hear of deaf billionaire?

Funny, all the world doesn't have deaf billionaires. Mostly, hearing billionaires, for example: Bill Gates. And I've tried to research to find who is deaf billionaire and it didn't say anything about. I told myself, "Why not?" and so I want to know your thoughts of why the world doesn't have deaf billionaires?

Some billionaire do not want to reveal their life. Respect their privacy. If I am billionaire, I would not revel myself at all!

True enough. You know I was just curious about "Why doesn't the world has deaf billionaires" that's all. That's why I've decided to post this and wanted to know people's thoughts of it.

Once my assets reach $1,000,000,000 point, you will be first one to know.

exactly just what Nightblade said. The billionaires are NOT very happy at all when Forbes published list of billionaires in the world. By doing so - they risked billionaires' lives to kidnapper, terrorists, etc. I would not want to be revealed on that Forbes magazine as the billionaire. Bill Gates have bodyguards for their children. Can you imagine living your life as a cocoon - armored cars, 24/7 bodyguards, etc?

I hate mansions. It's too depressing to live in mansion. You're basically using only 5% of the mansion - kitchen and bedroom. My friend lives in a mansion where nobody talks to each other because they live so far apart in it. That's why his family is selling it to small house. It is indeed nice to look at but depressing to live in it.

Good post!

Plus, do you want people to constantly ask you for money? I don't.

#1 reason why billionaires are very lonely. Imagine that! your friends, and especially family members, constantly begging you for money!

True, you're right about it. If I'm billionaire, I would give some to my friends (only I trust), my family, and my future wife. Good enough for me.

if i am billionaire, i WILL donate/charities to: my alma mater school, athletic programs, mainstream schools, Children's Hospital, and others more..

become millionaire or billionaire can be very boring because if you spend MANY stuffs that we have then after that, going shopping: i have that, this, that, this and yea, i already have in long time ago, blah blah.. nothing exciting. Travel is always very nice, once you're robbed.. poop happens.. It's ugly to be. I would rather to be THOUSANDAIRE. enough said.

Sure, why not. If I'm a billionaire, then a half a million will be nothing . I'd even let you ride my private helicopter! Hop on!

hey deafbajagal.. I am arkie.. we are buddies u give me some not them! lol just kidding.. heheheh


I agree with Lake Tahoe I think some of them wouldnt reveal.. unless there is one that have big ego? ugh..

if I was one I wouldnt want to reveal that I am rich and i for one wouldnt live in a manison. why waste electricity and maid? good enough having a "green" house that will save me lot of money using less electricity and all that.. Hybrid car as well and live under ground due to living in Tornado alley. donate money to good charity that need money to be put to good use and etc. donate money to pet shelters and foods.. many.. thats what i would.

LOL about living underground because of the tornadoes! Yeah, a very good reason, too, because Arkansas sure love having tornadoes! There's a house in Hot Springs that was built underground...we used to live close to it. One day I was standing when the owner of the house pulled up and he said, "Hey! Get off of my roof!" (he was kidding). We went to visit him and he had a BEAUTIFUL house with lots of rooms. But he didn't have any windows, lol.

(oops, did I just go off topic?)
