A person in the top 10 wealthiest people in the world wakeboards...do you know who it is? <BR> <BR>Here's a quote from him. <BR> <BR>"I think about the business all the time. Well, I shouldn't say all the time. I don't think about it when I'm wakeboarding. But even when I'm on vacation, or on my boat, I'm on e-mail every day. I'm always prowling around the Internet looking at what our competitors are doing."

It's kind of embarrassing to admit, but I fell out of the top ten this year. I'm now at #12. The economy has hit everyone hard! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

I couldn't find Mr. Williams on the wealthiest people list, although he was #1 on the best job in the world list... <BR> <BR>Yea...Larry Ellison. I'm sure is 452ft yacht throws a big wake.

"But even when I'm on vacation, or on my boat, I'm on e-mail every day." <BR> <BR>He obviously hasn't read the thread about this.

Maybe he needs a new boat driver. I am pretty sure it would not be minimum wage. He should call me! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

One of the UK's top riders is really good friends with Bransons son.
