WHO'S REALLY THE WORLD'S RICHEST?

Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or . . . Ingvar Kamprad?? You may not know that name but you probably know the company he founded: IKEA. (And if you're lucky, you've had a chance to shop there!) Forbes and Reuters can't seem to agree on the current holder of the World's Richest title, but there doesn't seem to be any doubt about who has lost the most in assets ever. Read the article to find out who holds that distinction.

CRAIN'S CHICAGO BUSINESS PEOPLE/PROFILES

Crain's Chicago Business groups its People resources together to make people watching in the Windy City quick and easy. The People/Profiles page links to Who's Who in Chicago Business, the Fortunate 100 Highest-Paid CEOs (only the top five are available for free), Highest-Paid Non-CEOs (ditto) and the 40 Under 40 rankings, archived back to 1999. Also available are Weekly Job Changes and a People Search, which is available for registered users only.

Click on Crain's Lists for links to even more resources, including, under People and Demographics, more Who's Who listings.

FI MAGAZINE

The Futures Industry Association Web site provides news on prominent people involved in the field of futures trading. Archives go back to 1996, though the information available for the earlier issues is sparse. Stick to the past few years and click on the department called People News or Prominent People to browse articles about individuals. Use the Keyword Search if you know the name of the person you're researching.
