I missed making the list by that much.
I’m sure my TBP empire will eventually get me on the list. I’m already on a bunch of other lists.
According to Forbes Magazine, the world’s top 20 billionaires have a combined net worth of $899 billion. Bill Gates comes first with a massive fortune of $79 billion. Even though he stepped down as Microsoft’s CEO in 2000, he has topped the rankings for 16 of the last 21 years.
When it comes to the world’s top 10 richest individuals, seven are American. The three exceptions are second placed Carlos Slim Helu and his family from Mexico, worth $77 billion, fourth placed Amancio Ortega of Spain who is worth $64.5 billion and tenth placed Liliane Bettencourt of France who has a wealth of $40 billion.

Who’s going to be jealous of who, when they hand out the scholarships for FEMA camp and you get the full ride, with training table and everything. Number one recruit in all of Pennsylvania. Your momma will be so proud. Gotta go, someone’s at the door
From the article “Behind the Numbers in Forbes’ Billionaires List:”
“Forbes on Monday issued its 29th annual who’s-who list of the world’s wealthiest, and this year a record 1,826 people with at least a $1 billion fortune made the cut. Bill Gates, with the help of his $79.2 billion net worth, took home the title of world’s wealthiest man for the 16th time in the last 21 years.
A reported 290 people made Forbes’ 10-figure catalog in 2015 for the first time, with freshmen billionaires the likes of basketball icon Michael Jordan, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and video game designer and “Minecraft” creator Markus Persson”
