B.C. Forbes was born in New Deer, Aberdeenshire. After studying at University of Dundee, in 1897 Forbes worked as a reporter and editorial writer with a local Dundee newspaper until 1901 when he moved to Johannesburg, South Africa, where he founded the Rand Daily Mail. He emigrated to New York City in the United States in 1904 where he was employed as a writer and financial editor at the Journal of Commerce before joining the Hearst chain of newspapers as a syndicated columnist in 1911. He left Hearst after two years to become the business and financial editor at the New York American where he remained until 1916.

He founded Forbes magazine in 1917 and remained Editor-in-Chief until his death in New York City in 1954, though assisted in his later years by Bruce Charles Forbes (1916-1964) and Malcolm Stevenson Forbes (1917-1990), his two eldest sons.

He was the founder of the Investors League in 1942.

Fidel Castro conflict

In 2005, Forbes listed Fidel Castro among the world's richest people, with an estimated net worth of $550 million USD. In the 2006 article "Fortunes Of Kings, Queens And Dictators", Forbes increased their estimate to $900 million USD.[12] The article notes that estimating net worth for government leaders is "more art than science", and points out that in the case of Castro the authors used a discounted cash flow method for several state-owned companies, and assumed a portion of that profit stream went to Castro.

Castro responded that he has a net worth of less than $1 USD, and challenged any one to prove that he has any money in overseas accounts.[13] Castro also stated that Forbes should place a bucket over their head.[14]

Forbes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Forbes is an American publishing and media company. Its flagship publication, Forbes magazine, is published bi-weekly. Its primary competitors in the national business magazine category are Fortune, which is also published bi-weekly, and BusinessWeek. Today the magazine is known for its lists, including its lists of the richest Americans (the Forbes 400) and its list of billionaires.


Company history

B.C. Forbes founded Forbes magazine in 1917 and remained Editor-in-Chief until his death in New York City in 1954, though assisted in his later years by Bruce Charles Forbes (1916–1964) and Malcolm Stevenson Forbes (1917–1990), his two eldest sons.

On Malcolm's death, his eldest son Malcolm Stevenson "Steve" Forbes Jr. (1947–) became President and Chief Executive of Forbes and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes magazine.[1] Between 1961 and 1999 the magazine was edited by James Michaels.[2] In 1993, under Michaels, Forbes was a finalist for the National Magazine Award.[3] In 2006, an investment group that includes rock star Bono bought a minority interest in the company.[4]


Other publications

Apart from Forbes and its lifestyle supplement, ForbesLife, the other titles published include Forbes Asia and eight local language editions.Steve Forbes and his magazine's writers offer investment advice on the weekly Fox TV show Forbes on Fox and on Forbes On Radio. Other company groups include Forbes Conference Group, Forbes Investment Advisory Group and Forbes Custom Media.

The company formerly published American Legacy magazine as a joint venture, although that magazine separated from Forbes as of May 14, 2007[5].

The company also formerly published American Heritage and Invention & Technology magazines. After failing to find a buyer, Forbes suspended publication of these two magazines as of May 14, 2007[6]. Those magazines have since been purchased by the American Heritage Publishing Company, and have resumed publication as of Spring 2008 [7].


Forbes.com

David Churbuck founded Forbes' Web site, Forbes.com, in 1996. The site uncovered Stephen Glass' journalistic fraud in The New Republic in 1998, an article that drew attention to internet journalism. The site, like the magazine, publishes many lists focusing on billionaires and their possessions, especially expensive homes, a critical aspect of the website's apparent popularity. [8] See a list of lists below.

Forbes.com employs the slogan "Home Page For The World's Business Leaders" and sometimes claims to be the world's most widely visited business web site.[9] The current president and chief executive officer is James J. Spanfeller; the current editor is Paul Maidment; the current managing editor is Carl Lavin,[10] who succeeded founding managing editor Michael Noer and Dan Bigman.[11]

According to Forbes.com, the Web site is among the most trusted resources for senior business executives, providing them the real-time reporting, uncompromising commentary, concise analysis, relevant tools and community they need to succeed at work, profit from investing and have fun with the rewards of winning. Throughout the business day Forbes.com publishes more than 3,500 articles and original video, delivering the best of Forbes journalism and that of its selected partners with all the immediacy, depth and interactivity that the Web allows.

Forbes.com also publishes subscription investment newsletters, a luxury-vehicles site, ForbesAutos edited by Matthew De Paula, and a luxury travel site, ForbesTraveler, edited by G. Barry Golson, the former executive editor of Playboy and TV Guide and former editor-in-chief of Yahoo! Internet Life, and an online guide to web sites, Best Of The Web.

フォーブズ４００(Forbes 400)

フォーブズ400（フォーブズよんひゃく）とは、アメリカの長者番付雑誌の名称である。発行社はフォーブズ社。

400の数の由来は、富豪階級の社交場であるカーネギーホールの収容数が400人だった事に因んでいる。又、西洋の言語には二十進法がよく使われており、400は20の平方でもある（四百を、「四の百倍」と呼ばず、「二十倍の二十」と呼ぶ国も多い）。この点も、400が基準になった理由と思われる。

この雑誌に載った大富豪には、マイクロソフト社のビル・ゲイツを初めとして、テレサ・ハインツ・ケリー（2004年に出馬した大統領候補ジョン・ケリーの妻）などがいる。日本人でも、藤田田が登場している。
