Forbes released its "Richest People in the World"

consecutive year.
According to Forbes, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is
the world’s richest, worth $177 billion, while Tesla’s Elon Musk rocketed into
the No. 2 spot with $151 billion, as shares in their companies surged during
the pandemic.
The 200 billionaires on the list are worth $13.1 trillion, up
from $8 trillion in 2020. The U.S. has 724 billionaires, the world’s most.
