I've thought of a more scientific way to approach this: by elimination.

Assuming 6 000 000 000 people in the world:
I can exclude: me, my brothers (2), sister, mum, dad, my girlfried, her two girls and their boyfriends. So that's at least 11 who aren't.

That leaves a potential 5 999 999 989 billionaires

Can anyone else eliminate a few known examples of non-billionaires from this total? We should be able to get the total down quite a long way, as I'm pretty sure most of my work colleagues and mates aren't billionaires either, so non-billionairedom seems (anecdotally) to be quite a popular lifestyle choice.

anyone with a xanga, or livejournal or any other third party blogging site, cause no billionar will really have one, but you must factor in how many people have more then one site, and you could also take bill gates off that list cause we know he is a billionare, and then we know we have one, unless he doesnt count cause all his money is in stocks

My estimate is 752. This is completely unscientific and based upon the sole fact that there are more than last year.
