![]() The richest is Christy Walton, widow of John Walton, son of Sam Walton, who founded the US retail giant Walmart. There are 102 women on this year's list, up from 89. Ten years ago the US accounted for fully half of the global billionaires last year that proportion had fallen to about 40%. Yet in the medium term its story is one of relative decline. The US hasn't done too badly this year – the number of American billionaires has risen by 10 to 413. Asia has more billionaires (332) on the list than Europe (300). Another steady theme is the rise of Asia, particularly China. Overall, Forbes reckons there are 1,210 billionaires in the world today, 214 more than last year. The next two in the list – Microsoft's Bill Gates and the investor Warren Buffett – can only muster a lacklustre $56bn and $50bn respectively, but then they are both preoccupied with giving away most of their wealth to charitable causes. The top three names are unchanged, with Carlos Slim Hélu, the Mexican telecoms tycoon, unrivalled in the No 1 slot with a personal value of $74bn, an increase of more than $20bn. Some features of the list remain comfortingly stable in a rapidly changing world. "If you do get to be thrown out, a billion dollars isn't a bad severance package." ![]() "Shed no tears for Eduardo," says Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of the business magazine that bears his name. Forbes estimates that the agreement that was reached makes Saverin worth $1.6bn. The final member of the group is Eduardo Saverin, whose falling out with Zuckerberg and the eventual lawsuit and settlement provided the dramatic core of The Social Network. ![]() The remaining six include Sean Parker (played by Justin Timberlake in the film), who is put at $1.6bn, Peter Thiel ($1.5bn) and a Russian investor in the company, Yuri Milner ($1bn). Moskovitz, a newcomer to the list as a result of the Goldman deal, was born on, eight days after the Facebook supremo. He is at $2.7bn – well behind Zuckerberg – although he has the satisfaction of having knocked Zuckerberg from his perch as the world's youngest billionaire. Next among the six comes Dustin Moskovitz, a co- founder. His wealth, along with the other five, massively increased this year when Goldman Sachs arranged an injection of $1.5bn (£926m) in capital into the site, valuing the company, which remains private, at $50bn. He ranks 52nd in the Forbes list, with a fortune estimated at $13.5bn. This can include custom lists such as Close Friends and Acquaintances.Top of the list is Mark Zuckerberg, the social networking site's CEO and president, who helped to create it while at Harvard University.
