Lets also not remember that there remains much wealth completely hidden -- one article in Forbes earlier suggested that the actual number of hidden billionaires in China and Russia were likely much higher. One analyst even suggested that Vladimir Putin could well be one of the world's actual richest men!

Hmm, something doesn't seem right between those two lists, because #100 on the list is Steve Jobs at $3.4 billion, but on the list of Canadians, there are a bunch of people not listed on the top 100 with more than $3.4 billion.
