Forbes Ranks the Wealthiest Americans and There Are Some Familiar Montco Faces
America’s wealthiest people are even richer this year than they were last year after regaining a collective $500 billion, thanks in part to rising technology stocks, writes Rob LaFranco and Chase Peterson-Withorn for Forbes.
