The World's Billionaires |
|
 |
Forbes' 16th annual ranking of the world's
billionaires is a tad more exclusive this year. Forbes tracked 497
billionaires, down from 538 last year. That includes 28 newcomers and 12
returnees. But for every billionaire who joined or returned to their
roster, two others departed. Of the ones who made the list's final cut,
50% saw their net worth fall, 23% saw it rise and 19% held steady. The
billionaires' average net worth dipped from $3.2 billion to $3.1
billion. |
