Facebook's founder, a Walmart heir, and a Trump family connection—these are the 11 youngest billionaires in America
The 10 richest people in the world are each worth $100 billion or more. Many are over the age of 50 and have years of experience founding and leading companies, including Elon Musk, who is presently considered the world's richest person with an accumulated wealth of more than $200 billion.
The most recent Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America has seen several newcomers join the ranks, including Michael Jordan, the first athlete to appear on the list, and several more drop off entirely, most notably former President Donald Trump, whose legal entanglements have led to questions as to his actual net worth.
Of the 400 richest Americans, only four under the age of 40, just 1% of the list. This marked the lowest percentage of members on the annual list in at least two decades, according to Forbes. Four people who were on last year's list have dropped off. The fall of share prices for Snap Inc. kicked co-founders Bobby Murphy and Evan Spiegel down the ranks. FTX co-founders Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang also appeared on the list in 2022 but have fallen off after the company went bankrupt amid allegations of fraud.
