Above, the first number shows their rank in 2008
In brackets next to this is their position the previous year
The third field is their name
The forth field is the money worth on the books
And last is where their money has come from
Want to join their ranks? It'll be a long climb up the ladder - but don't stop dreaming, else you'll never step onto the ladder itself and will forever be in the rat race that life is
