Nine helium rich sdO stars are found to show no trace of hydrogen on high resolution visual spectra. Effective temperatures derived from UV fluxes range from 42500 K to 80000 K. A dichotomy with respect to the C/N ratio is found which is reminiscent of the OBN and OBC stars near the main sequence. It is estimated that about 20% of the sdO stars are extremely helium rich. This fraction compares nicely with those of the (helium rich) DB white dwarfs (20%) and the helium rich central stars of planetary nebulae (less than 35%).
