INSPIRING: Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff - From Guerrilla Fighter to "the Most Powerful Woman in the World"

Dilma Rousseff is the 36th and current President of Brazil. She is the first woman ever to hold the office. Prior to that, in 2005, she also was the first woman to become Chief of Staff of Brazil, appointed by then President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Daughter of a Bulgarian immigrant and a schoolteacher, Rousseff was raised in an upper middle class household in Belo Horizonte. She became a socialist during her youth, and following the 1964 coup d'état joined various left-wing and Marxist urban guerrilla groups that fought against the military dictatorship. Rousseff was captured and jailed between 1970 and 1972 and reportedly tortured. FULL BIO

ECONOMICS: Top 10 Richest Men of All Time

NUMBER 10: Carlos Slim Helu (1940 - ) $60 Billion

The Mexican communications industry and other interests have been kind to Carlos Slim, to say the least. It’s said that between 2005 and 2007, Slim’s worth has doubled. In that period, his fortune grew around $27 million -- daily. The reason is simple: he owns everything in Mexico. Over 200 companies are under his thumb, ranging from the aforementioned telecom to transportation, and from cigarettes to soft drinks. He’s dismissed the title of “world’s richest man” with indifference, claiming that designation isn’t his kind of competition. Whether he wants it or not, he has been designated as one of the world’s richest men.



NUMBER 9: Warrent Buffet (1930 - ) $62 Billion

Like many who can afford to do so, Warren Buffett doesn’t mind pursuing new acquisitions when the economy is tanking. His latest was a joint effort with Mars for a $23 billion buy of Wrigley. Still, you might get the impression that he’s not in all this for the same reasons as others. This is the man who appeared before Congress last fall and warned of the rise of “dynastic wealth,” stressing the importance of the estate tax. Buffett also earmarked $31 billion for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Only the richest men of all time can donate billions.




NUMBER 8: Sam Walton (1918 - 1992) $62.1 Billion

Sam Walton’s passing in 1992 came too soon for him to see the full potential of his Wal-Mart empire, though he was certainly successful in his lifetime. Much of it came from offering things that we take for granted today: good variety and convenient store hours, for example. He also set the stage for efficient, cost-effective central warehousing of merchandise, extending his competitive reach into smaller markets and well beyond his first store in Arkansas.



The difference between $62.1-Billion and the Net Worth of NUMBER 1 is 261.3-Billion. FIND OUT WHO THE 7 RICHEST MEN OF ALL TIME ARE HERE.

INSPIRING: "Pink Panthers" - World's Greatest Jewels Thieves (Part 1)

When the wars of the former Yugoslavia finally ended in 1999, the region was left with hundreds of battle-hardened men who had become accustomed to crime and easy money. With the fighting over, many of them turned to crime full-time. In the era of electronic banking, banks no longer carry much cash so jewels are the softest target for thieves. The former Yugoslav criminals saw their opportunity and are now the world's most feared diamond thieves. Interpol has dubbed them the Pink Panthers.

"They've become more than pure criminals, they're heroes," said Dragan Ilic, a morning radio talk show host in Belgrade, the Serbian capital. "They're violent but they haven't killed anyone. It's as if they're saying, ‘We can beat the technologically superior West with our raw power and intelligence.' They're feeding the Western myth of the dark, tribal Balkans - these criminals coming from those wars and woods."

"I'm way too important 2 be talkin' bout extortin. Asking me for a portion is like asking for a coffin. Broad daylight, I'll off your on-switch. You're not too bright, goodnight, long kiss.
