FIRST 200 RICHEST PEOPLE IN
THE WORLD AND THEIR SOURCE OF INCOME
Exactly how much are the world’s billionaires worth? $7.05
trillion, according to FORBES’ latest ranking — besting last year’s
record-breaking $6.4 trillion sum by a hefty $650 billion. The jump is driven
in part by 290 newcomers, our biggest ever freshman class, which helps push the
total number of billionaires in the world to 1,826, the highest number we’ve
ever recorded.
While anyone with enough loot to make our count is well
within the top 1% worldwide, income inequality is present even among this group:
the richest 500 individuals collectively hold $4.7 trillion of that $7.05
trillion total. That translates to just over a quarter of billionaires
accounting for two thirds of the wealth on our list.
What follows below is a simple list of those 500. You’ll
find a mix of fresh faces like taxi cartel capsizers Travis Kalanick and
Garrett Camp (whose ridesharing service, Uber, is worth more than $40 billion)
and the usual suspects like Bill Gates, who retains the top spot, Warren
Buffett and Elon Musk.
