The billionaires on this list have made their fortune in a wide range of industries, including tech, automobiles, asset management, and video games.
Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have had their relative fortunes fluctuate in tandem with Amazon and Tesla stock prices in recent years. The volatility in share prices has meant they’ve each carried the title of the world’s wealthiest person at varying points.
Jeff Bezos previously had the top spot but now has a net worth of $162 billion. While he’s stepped down from the CEO role and has sold large amounts of Amazon stock, his ranking will likely still tie in closely to the company’s performance for the foreseeable future.
Elon Musk is the richest billionaire in Texas, however, he only recently became a resident of the state. His move is part of a broader migration trend occurring in the U.S. today, where California is experiencing a population decline for the first time ever. Last year, 68% of counties in California saw population declines, and data from the U.S. Census Bureau suggests many of these Americans opted for states like Florida and Texas.

ReplyDeleteNo billionaires or no data on them in NH, VT, NM and AK. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteNothing for DC ? OK, technically not a state - just try getting their idiot mayor to admit that - but I don't think it would be off base to put Xi's face looming over it.

ReplyDeleteSurprised to see any still in CA. If your income is over $1m/yr, the state hits you with a 24% haircut. Back in ~2000 when they first passed an "excessive income" tax, there were 28k that qualified for it. 1/3 instantly bailed out of the state. A couple years ago when they increased the hit, there were only about 1800 left, and again 1/3 bailed.
