For our first Thrillionaire, we are presenting Ellie Morse.

Ellie initiated creative events, fairs, and projects at her school, and engaged many people in her community, not only to raise money, but also to raise awareness of the plight of the forgotten children of Uganda".

Congratulations to Ellie for a well deserved First Prize.

It looks like we are still waiting for our first trillionaire, but wait, we have a few
billionaires to showcase here.
They will have to fit the bill for now, until, maybe Bill Gates shows up
as the first trillionaire.

Let's profile a few here.
We all know about the Waltons, the Gates, and Warren Buffet, so here I'll just mention a few not so well-known.

Alexander Rovt made his fortune in fertilizers.

Four years ago, if you had googled the word "trillionaire", you would have come up with less than a thousand references to the subject. Today, punching in the word "Trillionaire" on any of the major search engines you are likely to come up with less than 70,000 results, even on Yahoo.

In 1999, Wired magazine erroneously predicted that Bill Gates would be the world's first trillionaire by 2005. Unfortunately it didn't predict the dot bomb meltdown of 2000 and 2001.

All it took for Alex to spring into action and create "Cookies for Kids" to help hungry kids at a local Grand Bahama school, was a TV show that she watched with her mom.

Alex and a group of her girlfriends started to bake cookies and sold them and use the profits for helping the kids. She impressed quite a few people at the Rotary Club when she made a speech relating the experience.

Way to go girl!
