Doctors have always had a reputation as
being wealthy and a good catch for any

doctors. The net worth of these doctors
goes to extremes but many of them made
their money doing things other than
medicine.

philanthropist made his fortune
revolutionizing cancer treatment. He is now

Where is the famous Dr Benson Carson?

Nigeria's honorary doctors who looted the national treasury to become rich should all be included in this list, even if they can barely speak English.

No african doctor graced the list even a nigerian or was it that they were delibrately omitted?.....

he wrote great books and he is a brilliant surgeon that has brought innovation in the world of neurosurgery. he is now retired and into politics. Not suprised he is not on the list. the list is made of doctors who are also into medical business.
