Daily News… ASIA HAS THE WORLD’S MOST BILLIONAIRES Asia has more billionaires than any other continent, a survey by a China-based wealth magazine showed on Thursday, apparently overtaking North America for the first time. There were 1,453 people around the world with a personal wealth of $1 billion or more as of January, said the Hurun Report, a luxury magazine publisher that compiled the list. Asia had 608 billionaires, North America 440 and Europe 324, it said in a statement. It is believed to be the first time Asia has been named as home of the largest proportion of super-rich on any global list. US business magazine Forbes said in its most recent international rich list, published in March last year, that the Asia-Pacific region had 315 billionaires, compared to 450 from North America and 310 in Europe. Among individual countries, the United States and China dominated the Hurun list, with 408 and 317 billionaires respectively, followed by Russia, Germany and India. Mexican telecoms czar Carlos Slim, 73, was ranked as the «Richest Man on the Planet» with a personal fortune of $66 billion. Slim also topped last year’s Forbes global list. US investor Warren Buffett and Amancio Ortega of Spain, founder of fashion brand Zara, were second and third in the Hurun Report rankings, with a net worth of $58 billion and $55 billion respectively. Hong Kong investor Li Ka-shing kept his title of Asia’s richest man with $32 billion, the seventh wealthiest person in the world. «In China we’ve seen a huge urbanisation boom and that has created a lot of wealth in property,» Rupert Hoogewerf, chairman and chief researcher of the Hurun Report, told AFP. Zong Qinghou, who heads soft-drink producer Wahaha, and Wang Jianlin of property developer Wanda were the only two from mainland China to make it into the top 100.

International News… VIAGRA FOR A BETTER PLAY Leading Peruvian football club Alianza Lima is considering the possibility of giving its players Viagra during matches played at altitude in the local championships. In a country where some Peruvian league matches take place in towns between 2,700 and 3,300 metres, Alianza players could be looking at reaping the benefits from the erectile dysfunction drug. «When we were in Spain during pre-season, we talked with the club doctor and he explained to us that Viagra could help improve the physical conditioning of players at altitude,» coach Wilmar Valencia said.
VERY YOUNG DRIVER Police in Russia’s city of Saint Petersburg have launched a probe after a video of an eight-year-old girl driving 100 kilometres per hour (60mph) through snowy scenery went viral on the Internet. The clip of Karina Mikulchik driving was shot by her mother Yelena, who was sitting in the back seat. The footage has been viewed nearly 500,000 times on YouTube. The little girl seems unperturbed handling the Audi to the sounds of techno music from the stereo. A man sitting in the passenger seat, apparently her father, tells her: «Come on! Accelerate!»
