The Sawiris Clan in the Forbes 2009 World's billionaires

I was a curious to know the Egyptians in the Forbes 2009 world's billionaires list ,already all the billionaires in the world suffered from the financial crisis and their fortunes suffered losses,so it would be interesting to see how much they have lost.
As usual the Sawiris Clan are representing the Egyptians and North Africans in the list but to my surprise they are not listed as the Sawiris family like the Kharafi family in Kuwait but they are listed individually.
The Sawiris family members mentioned in this year list are :
1-In rank # 194 Nassef Sawiris
2-In rank # 205 Naguib Sawiris
3-In rank # 430 Onsi Sawiris
The Sawiris clan suffered for sure , it is said that Naguib made them lose a considerable amount of money in the Stock markets abroad.
More about the Sawiris family history ,You can find it in Dr. Yasser Thabet's wonderful BOB blog :) "Arabic"
Strange enough Al Ahram newspaper today in the front page says that The Sawiris family is heading the list with Bill Gates !!?? heading what exactly and they are not in the top 50 world's billionaires !!
Of course this is legal world's billionaires list ,there is illegal world's billionaires list and you know like me who heads it from dictators and thieves ;)
