Everybody wants to know about the world’s billionaires right? Even just for curiosity. And besides the world’s billionaires do you know the ones in your country? Maybe they live in your own city! Well today we present you the top 5 Swiss Billionaires:
Ernesto Bertarelli inherited biotech giant Serono, maker of the billion-dollar multiple sclerosis drug Rebig, following his father’s death in 1998. Along with his sister Dona, he expanded the company to $2.4 billion in revenues before selling it to Merck in 2007 for $9 billion.
Hansjoerg Wyss
These days Hansjoerg Wyss is more focused on giving away money than making it. Wyss, who in 2012 sold his medical device manufacturer Synthes to Johnson & Johnson for $20.2 billion in cash and stock, pledged $125 million to Harvard last May.
Margarita Louis-Dreyfus
Chairman of the French commodities behemoth Louis Dreyfus, Margarita Louis-Dreyfus took over the company when her husband Robert died of leukemia in 2009. She’s made big changes in recent years, selling the company’s energy trading business in 2012, raising capital on the public bond markets, and publicly declaring her intentions to up her stake.
Gianluigi & Rafaela Aponte
Gianluigi Aponte met his wife Rafaela when he was a ferry ship captain; in 1970 they decided to launch their own cargo shipping venture, Mediterranean Shipping, now called MSC. Four decades later, MSC has become the world’s second largest container shipping company, with 445 vessels, just behind global leader Maersk.
Thomas Schmidheiny
Thomas Schmidheiny gets his fortune from a 20% stake in Swiss cement and concrete giant Holcim, a company he ran for two decades until he retired as chairman in 2003. Schmidheiny’s ancestors built an empire making bricks and cement; when Thomas’ father Max divided the estate in 1984 he inherited Holcim while his brother Stephan, also a billionaire, got construction company Eternit.

Sods —–
Law.
June.-
2015. ( Updated.)
For almost two
decades we have strived to get justice for the injustice we have
suffered at the hands of a world renowned bank— PICTET & CIE.
BANK.
Two yorkshiremen
both running their own small family businesses trying to resolve the
problem by taking all the correct legal procedures to recover their
monies.
The matter was
raised in Parliament – twice– the FSA investigated the matter
concluding that PICTET had rogues operating in their London Bank —
but the rogues had left —saying no one left to prosecute.??? —–
so there.
We then
approached the Financial Ombudsman Service. (FOS) — our case was
dealt with by seven different people —- then our numerous E-Mails
were ignored — nobody would speak to us ——-so there.
We then asked the
SFO ( Serious Fraud Office.) to investigate our case —- the
criteria of our case ticked all their boxes. — we were instructed
not to send them
any
documents/evidence.—— in fact they wrote to us advising us to go
to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.(CAB.)
Richard Alderman
the SFO boss —- who responded to our letter was the same man who
would not investigate the “ Madoff” scandal or the “Libor”
fiasco.
The MP’s
committee —- said he was sloppy— and the SFO was run like “
Fred Karno’s Circus” —– it was an office of fraud.—– so
there.
Our M.P.
approached our local Chief Constable to investigate—– he was
called—- Sir Norman Bettison— Chief Constable of West Yorkshire
Police —- a force that made “ Dad’s Army” look like the S.A.S.
They were inept – corrupt —malicious — from top to bottom. We
were criminally dealt with by the Forces Solicitor—- the Head of
the Economic Crime Unit —-and the Chief Constable —– so there.
We were then
advised to pass our complaint against West Yorkshire Police to the
I.P.C.C. – which we did — they advised us to make our complaint
to —- the West Yorkshire Police — we did with reluctance — all
we got was abuse and obfuscation. —– so there.
Sir Norman
Bettison —- The Forces solicitor— and the Head of the Economic
Crime —- have all been removed from their posts and facing criminal
allegations.
—— so there.
We even sought
justice through the Courts — culminating in a visit to the Court of
Appeal-London.— On leaving the Courts of Appeal that day our
barrister a “rising star” informed us — that if that was
British Justice then you can keep it. He quit the law and moved to
Canada —– so there.
A few years later
we learned that one of the judges ( Lord Justice.) in our case at the
Court of Appeal was related to a senior executive of the Pictet Bank
—–so there.
The Ministry of
Justice passed our case to Lord Myners to investigate — we would
rather have had Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck do it. — to this day we
don’t know
—whether he did
anything or not —- probably not — seeing that his wife was on the
Pictet Prix Board.
Pictet & Cie
.Bank — voted private bank of the year 2013.
Ivan Pictet —-
Voted banker of the year 2012. —- the senior partner — lied on
numerous occasions and had documents destroyed — also said genuine
documents were forgeries. —– so there.
Pictet & Cie.
were adamant that they had no involvement with MADOFF —- they lied
again —- they let him steal the monies then conned it off him.—
so there.
2012 — June –
Published in Anglo INFO. Geneva – USA Trust Fund Investors were
sent false and fraudulent documents by Pictet Bank in order to
collect large fees ( Like Madoff.) Even
after the SEC in the USA uncovered the fraud Pictet continued to
charge fees and drain whatever was left in these accounts. Estimated
that $90 million lost in this Pictet Ponzi scheme.– so there.
Ivan Pictet in
Oct. 2013 —- Given the Legion of Honour — but saying that —-
honours were given to Hitler — Eichmann — Mussolini —Franco
— he’s in fitting company. —-so there.
April 2015. —-
Inner City Press.—- United Nations Joint Staff Pension Funds.
Pension
Fund.–$53 Billion.—– The spokesman FARHAN HAQ would not answer
whether Investment chairman – IVAN PICTET had to quit —- after
allegations made by some staff. —- “ once a crook always
a crook” – so there.
MONTY
RAPHAEL.Q.C. — Peters & Peters.London. They were the banks
lawyers.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. along with Ivan Pictet withheld crucial documents
requested by the High Court —- the FSA —- and the police Fraud
Squad. —-so there.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became an Honorary Queens Counsellor in March. 2012.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became a Master of the Bench in Nov.2012.
An expert in
Fraud —the Doyen of Fraud Lawyers. —– so there.
This says a lot
about Banks — and their lawyers –the consensus of opinion is that
they are highly paid “crooks” —- no wonder they voted Ivan
Pictet banker of the year. — and Monty Raphael a Queens Counsellor
– “crime does pay”?
It appears that
crimes in the “establishment.” are honoured by their peers.
“HONOURS
AMONG THIEVES.”
