The world’s three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. As are the world’s five richest men (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albrecht).

Hi-
Is that full stop used correctly? I think a normal version would be:
1. ...even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. So are the world’s five richest men ...
2. ...even if one of them really uses Japanese characters, as are the world’s five richest men...
3. ...even if one of them really uses Japanese characters; as are the world’s five richest men...
