Olympics: July 26-August 11The Olympic Games are a favorite for sports-loving billionaires like Bill Gates, seen here in 2008 at the Beijing Games.

Billionaires with no official connection to this year's Olympics will no doubt be there, too, and in style.
Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch have attended the event with their families in years past, and newly minted billionaire Magic Johnson has played for Team USA and carried the Olympic torch.
Tickets to events like the women's gymnastics final cost $6,500 each from the official ticket seller.
