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.
To make the Forbes 400 list, the superrich needed to have a net worth of at least $2.9 billion.
On the list are a few familiar faces from Montgomery County:
