Though you are asking for email addresses, most of the time these are not available to the general public because of so much spamming going on. There is however a website called billionairemailinglist.com where you can get all the United States Billionaires home mailing addresses. These are probably better than the email addresses because you get the letter right into their mailboxes, thus getting the letter right into the billionaires home. Chances are better of getting a reply that way. Several people have had great success with mailing a letter directly to their home.

There are a lot of possible search recommendations. These list is nowhere complete , but it will give you a few pointers as a start in the correct direction :

The first step would be to complete as much as possible complete a full list of all rich people on the planet and then to compare it with all known philantrophists.

It must be stated that there are more than 40 Billionaires that together with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation , Microsoft Corporation of Medina , Washington State , United States of America and Warren Buffet of Berkshire Hathaway Corporation of Omaha

(together with his son Howard Buffett of De Wildt Cheetah Centre , Hartbeespoortdam , Republic of South Africa ) , of Nebraska State , United States of America that has made an Astronomical Philantrophist Pledge in Principle.

Recommended ideas and/or books in the search :

Recommendation 1 :

Sunday Times Rich List 2006-2007 was published by A & C Black in December 2006 (ISBN 978-0713679410). This list with office addresses the richest 5000 multi billionaires , billionaires and penta (supermulti and multi) millionaires in the United Kingdom and Great Britain.

It has been compiled by the Rich List Staff of the London Sunday Times with the editor listed as

Dr Philip Beresford, with Tristian Davies serving as the executive editor in later years.

Recommendation 2 :

Sunday Times Rich List 2007-2008 was due to be published by A & C Black in November 2007 (ISBN 978-0713685152) but no book appeared due to a deadlock between the publishers and The Sunday Times. The publisher was keen to carry on but only if a CD version was attached to the book. The Sunday Times would not allow this as it would give competitors a chance to develop their own database and launch rival rich lists

Recommendation 3 :

Amazon.com: Asia's Wealth Club: A Who's Who of Business and Billionaires (in the greater Asia area) (ISBN 9781857881622): Geoff Hiscock: Books.

This lists all the Billionaires in the greater Asia area a few years back with references of their specific companies

Recommendation 4 :

Eurobusiness Magazine Rich 400 list for richest Europeans back Issues

for e.g from 3 February 2000

Recommendation 5 :

Who's Who of the World

Many of the World's Leaders and Decision Makers and even Billionaires has in depth details and sometimes with e-mail addresses

Recommendation 6:

International Who's Who of the World

Both the Who's Who of the World , and preferably of the last couple of years together with the International Who's Who of the World should be looked up for every single Billionaire

Recommendation 7:

Regional Who's Who of certain globe regions is very valuable for e.g Who's Who in the United States of America is very valuable , and also smaller areas for e.g Who's Who of Southern Africa list the richest black billionaire on the planet e-mail as patrice.motsepe@arm.co.za

(arm.co.za standing for African Rainbow Minerals)

Recommendation 8:

Some of the Forbes lists specifically list residence and source with the specific home town residence such as the 2011 Forbes 400 listing the richest 400 Billionaires in the United States of America

Recommendation 10:

The latest Wikipedia Reference Billionaire is also a good place to start with reliable links

Recommendation 11:

The Forbes latest 2011 list of Billionaires : Go to forbes.com and follow the lists is most probably the first place to start

Recommendation 12:

The World Wealth Report and previous years back Issues can also be helpful

Recommendation 13:

The Foremost World Authority on the contact details of Billionaires that are purchasable is Ben Campbell that has the direct contact details of several hunderd Billionaires on the Planet available. He has published a few advertisements on free press release.

In my opinion there are 3 international experts on thissubject.The most important of them is Ben Campbell that has launchedextensive advertisements on freepress release.WebSite:http://www.billionaires.00cash.comSeveral lists for sale has been drawn up over the yearsby him.When the most powerful political parties in theUnited States and other countries want funding,his lists is the first place to start.His phone number in the USA was at a stageTelephone:323-573-2501BEN CAMPBELL Executive Advisor.He is one of the only experts in the world with directhome address , telephone email etc. contactable quick details.for. e.g.His advisory service also provides you with the "home addresses" of 334 billionaires. Gives you the "home telephone numbers" of 164 billionaires. Gives you the wives names of 228 billionaires.The other international expert , that is the best to get the Billionaires to actually give some cash out isformer President of the United States of America Bill Clinton , as reported in the Readers Digest of January 2011on page 54 till 61.He is doing it via the William J. Clinton Foundation and the specific attempt is called the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).Steve Forbes is running Forbes magazine and website andis the foremost Financial Executive Expert on the Planetfor Financial Executive Reporting.
