The Richest Person in the World,
and the rest of them, who are Behind him
|
It was another record year for the richest person on earth,
as his wealth continued to rise – at a minimum of tripling percentage digits, and more, from last year, and every year, before. With more than 2,000 ten-figure-fortunes, no matter how you slice it, no one comes close to him. The total net worth of all of the others, rose by 18 % to $ 7.67 trillion, which is also a record. But their collective wealth – net, gross, and even combined, doesn’t come close to him. The Doctor, Attorney, Rabbi, Celebrity, Corporate Titan, Government Law Enforcement & Intelligence Official, and Military Official, Scott L. Fredricks, – who the government titles him, as : The Honorable Dr. Scott L. Fredricks, Commissioner, and The Honorable Dr. Scott L. Fredricks, Admiral, is also known as being the most secret – richest person in the world. |

He is not a millionaire, not a billionaire, and not even a trillionaire
– he is a quadrillionaire. He has more than $ 444 quadrillion. His millions of Global – Businesses, Companies, and Corporations, including Scott L. Fredricks Industries, and his other Worldwide – Businesses, Companies, and Corporations in his name, and under other names, make more money, and are worth more, than the amount of money, that any of the other billionaires have, together, either under their own personal names and wealth, or their companies’ names and wealth. His separate Entertainment – Businesses, Companies, and Corporations, including Scott L. Fredricks Studios – the leader in Photography Studios, Modeling Studios, Recording Studios, Music Studios, Literary Publishing – Newspaper Publishing, Magazine Publishing, Book Publishing, other Media Publishing, Radio Networks, Radio Stations, Television Networks, Television Stations, Movie Studios, and other things in the Entertainment world, that he tries to keep his ownership of them, secret, – are valued in the trillions of dollars. |

Bill Gates falls behind him, and comes in, at the number two richest person,
in the world. He has a fortune of $ 86 billion, up from $ 75 billion last year. Jeff Bezos – the head of Amazon, had his best year, adding $ 27.6 billion to his fortune, which is now worth $ 72.8 billion. He moved into number three in the world for the first time, up from number five a year before. Warren Buffett had his second-best year, and the biggest gain since Donald Trump was elected president. His $ 14.8 billion jump in a year, was enough for him to become the fourth richest person in the world, and to grab the spot, ahead of Amancio Ortega, founder of the Spanish clothing chain Zara. Amancio Ortega’s fortune was up $ 4.3 billion since last year. But he still fell to fifth in the world, without the ability to keep up with the gains of the others, ahead of him. Mark Zuckerberg, one of the founders of Facebook, moved up to number six for the first time, after his fortune rose $ 11.4 billion in a year. Mexico’s Carlos Slim Helu , who was once the world’s richest man, fell to number seven, which is the first time he has been out of the top five, in a dozen years. |

Seventy-eight people fell off the list. This included 33 from China, and 7 Americans.
There are 9 people who also have been dropped from the list
– they are still super wealthy but share their wealth among extended family members.
So they are not eligible for these ranks.
20 billionaires died in the past year, so they also have been dropped from the list.
The List of the Quadrillionaire & Billionaires is current.
In making the list
– stock prices and exchange rates from around the world to calculate net worths,
have been used, in addition to other financial factors.
We – in addition to all of our other financial annalists, analysis and media,
list individuals, rather than multigenerational families who share large fortunes
– although we do include wealth, that belongs to a billionaire’s spouse and children,
if the current list member is the founder of the fortune.
In that case you will see it mention the notation of “and family” on the list.
We also include married couples, who built fortunes and businesses together.
In these cases, we list both names of married couples.
