New Study Of The Richest People On The Planet

As the number of billionaires jumped 13% to 2,043 from 1,810, it was a record year for the richest people on earth. This news encourage leading Watford based outsources sales and marketing specialists, Karuna Events to launch a study into the wealthiest people on the planet.

As the 2017 Forbes rich list was revealed, it was exciting to learn that those achieving billionaire's status is on the rise. an additional 233 billionaires were added to the list, and for the first time in 31 years over 2,000 ten-figure fortunes have been recorded.

Encouragingly those improving their financial status outnumbered those who lost some or all their fortune by three to one.

Mr Bill Gates continues to lead, taking the top spot for the fourth consecutive year. Mr Gates fortune is recorded at $86 billion, continuing his rein at near the top of the richest people in the world chart for the last 18 years.

As entrepreneurship takes the spotlight again in its ability to create sustainable billionaires, Karuna Events are keen to highlight the list is becoming younger and younger as innovative business models are creating a diverse market brimming with opportunities for those looking to get ahead and secure a financially stable future.

The Forbes chart is also looking promising for female entrepreneurs, as 15 new self-made women enter the chart. As the list now includes 227 female billionaires, it is suspected that there will be an increase in inspiration and competition within the female led business world.

Red nose day is fast approaching, with brilliantly entertaining shows all ready hitting our screens to raise money for the event, including the so far fantastic and hilarious Bake-Off for Red nose day, which has yet to disappoint. As with every year the red noses are out on the streets, however unlike previous years this time there are a total of nine noses to collect, including a possible golden prize winning nose, and also unlike last year and to some people great irritation the noses are bagged, making it a complete gamble as to which one you'll get and making it even harder to collect them all.

Shocking Growth In Baby Victims of Abuse

Figures released by UK wide charity Buttle UK has shown a staggering growth in the number of young victims exposed to domestic abuse. Buttle UK's exclusive figures show that the number of grants awarded to families affected by domestic abuse rose by 22% between 2015 and 2016. Over £1 million was awarded by the charity, who provide financial support to help children up to the age of 18, who's families were affected by domestic abuse last year alone. Alarmingly the charity reported nearly 10,000 children were referred to Buttle UK last year, who had been affected by domestic abuse. Out of these 3,384 children were aged four or under.

Scorrail introduces no smoking regulations

Have you heard? Scotrail has rolled out no-smoking regulations on all of there platforms! Surely this is something to rejoice amongst all of the terrible things that have happened this year, especially recently. However, I cannot help but be very sceptical of this new arrangement. In England the no smoking rule has been rolled out across all stations for years, showcased by brightly coloured signs up and down platforms warning of possible fines for smokers.

Now unable to smoke on the station, they gather in hives at the gate entrance, a spot where the regulation dose not stretch and where they can still see and run for their trains at the last minute.
