You know you want to, so go ahead and get it out of the way: scroll down and click on Lists of Celebrities on The Simpsons or Scrooge McDuck's Encounters with Real People. Or you might be interested in the List of Foods Named after People or the List of People Who Declined a British Honour.
Now that that's out of the way, you can explore this collection of links more seriously. It does include some lists which may be related to the work you're doing, such as the List of People on Multiple Governing Boards, the List of Billionaires and the List of Famous Families.
Look for a small box of links in the center of the page; from here, you can jump directly to lists of people by name, belief, nationality, occupation, office held or prize won.

Vietnam, according to VietNamNet, has no billionaires, but it does have 170 millionaires. The newspaper VNExpress has compiled a list of the 100 richest Vietnamese stockholders. And, happily for those of us in the U.S., their stockholdings are translated into dollars.
