Despite the best efforts of the capitalist / comprador class, nobody resident in Cambodia has made the Forbes list.

Malaysia, China and Indonesia are all there, as is India.

Any guesses for what year the first Cambodian will be in Forbes?

I'd be very surprised if certain Cambodians didn't have over $1 billion squirreled away in various shelters.

I think they are talking about white or already laundered money. Probably be a while before they have that much clean cash around.

There are a few billionaires here. It's just that they are very shy due to local cultural traditions. They don't like to live ostentatiously and just lead by example etc.
