Our Richest Saviors


Doctors are our saviors, literally. There are various types of doctors throughout the world such as: Cardiovascular Surgeon, Neurosurgeon, Pediatricians, Rheumatologist, Anesthesiologist, and many more. Doctors can help you with things such as a minor headache or cancer in your heart. Everyone knows that doctors make a lot of money throughout their lives. Most doctors aren’t “rich” until they are older because they have to go to school for an extraordinarily long time. Once they finally get their career going and are moving ahead in their medical field they begin to make money.

To begin with, the number one richest doctor in the world is Patrick Soon Shiong,62 (Net Worth: $13.1 billion). The second richest doctor is Thomas Frist, Jr. and family (Net worth: $7.9 billion). Coming in third is Phillip Frost (Net worth: $3.7 billion). Fourth place goes out to Wu Yiling and family (Net worth: $1.8 billion). Still in the billions is number five who is Gary Michelson (Net worth: $1.35 billion). Now, number six who is in the millions is Dr. Phil (Net worth: $280 million). Tied for seventh is Terry Dubrow and Dr. James Andrews (Net worth 30 million). With ten million less in ninth place is  Dr. Leonard Hochstein (Net worth: $20 million). Lastly, in tenth place is Robert Rey (Net worth: $15 million)
What I found ironic is that the number one richest doctor got his money from revolutionizing cancer treatments, while the number ten doctor gets his money from plastic surgery. I find it interesting as well because knowing that the richest doctor got his money from revolutionizing treatments to cancer rather than help people get fake body part.  In “Top 10 Richest Doctors in the World 2015”, “He’s the richest doctor in the world and also the richest Asian-American. He made his fortune by revolutionizing cancer treatment.” If you ever want to become a doctor this could help you lean towards a field that would pay more if that’s what you’re in it for. This tells how if you work hard enough you don’t have to be a star to be a rich person.
