If you’re wondering what Mubarak has amassed over 30 years of serving his country, here’s the lowdown according to a CNN report (video):
Estimated fortune: US40-US75 billon dollars. To put that in perspective, the richest man in the world, Carlos Slim Helu, has an approximate fortune of US53.5 billion dollars. That puts Mubarak the 2nd richest man in the low end, or easily the richest man on earth in the high end. Compare that to the median annual income of Egypt at US$2,070, and 20-percent of Egyptians living in poverty–making less than US$2.00 per day–and you see why the country and its people can’t afford to keep him in office for another day.
