Forbes put out their annual list of the richest billionaires in the world on Tuesday, including a number of people you'd expect to see at the top like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
But who are some of the other wealthiest billionaires? What about the richest woman in the world? Which billionaire is the youngest to make the annual list? And who didn't make the list this year?
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, still holds the No. 1 spot with a net worth of $219 billion. Bezos was ranked just behind him with a net worth of $171 billion, while Bernard Arnault and family -- who own and operate LVMH Moët Hennessy, Louis Vuitton SE -- are third on the list with a net worth of $158 billion. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett rounded out the top 5, with $129 billion and $118 billion, respectively.
There are only 327 women billionaires on the list this year, down one from 2021, out of the 2,668 total billionaires. Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, granddaughter of the founder of the beauty company L'Oréal, retained her top spot for the second straight year with a net worth of $74.8 billion. Overall, she and her family are the 14th richest people in the world.
The second wealthiest woman in the world is currently Alice Walton, daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, with a net worth of $65.3 billion. Walton held the top female spot in 2020 before Bettencourt Meyers topped her last year.
Julia Koch and her children own a 42% stake in Koch Industries, giving her a net worth of $60 billion, good for third on the Forbes list. While Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott is the fourth richest woman in the world with $43.6 billion, and has donated more than $12.5 billion to philanthropic organizations in less than two year.
There were 236 new additions to this year's billionaires list, but only 33 of those people were women. Some familiar newcomers included music star Rihanna with $1.7 billion thanks to her stakes in the Fenty Beauty cosmetics line and Savage X Fenty lingerie, as she became the first billionaire from Barbados. Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson ($1.5 billion) also made the list after he sold his stake in Weta digital film effects shop to Unity Software for roughly $975 million.
Other newcomers you may not recognize by name include OnlyFans majority owner Leonid Radvinksy at $1.2 billion, as well as cofounder and CEO of the graphic design app Canva, Melanie Perkins, and her cofounder, Cliff Obrecht, both worth $6.5 billion.
The world's youngest billionaire is Kevin David Lehman at just 19-years-old. He owns the German drugstore chain DM and is worth $2.4 billion, as the only teenager on the list.
Some other popular people that made the list include Ye, more commonly known as Kanye West (No. 1513 at $2 billion), his ex-wife Kim Kardashian (No. 1645 at $1.8 billion), Michael Jordan (No. 1729 at $1.7 billion), Jay-Z (No. 2076 at $1.4 billion), and Tyler Perry (No. 2578 at $1 billion).
And if you were wondering, yes, former President Donald Trump did make the list at No. 1012 with a net worth of about $3 billion, up nearly 300 spots from 2021.
While those who missed the cut this year included Kylie Jenner (estimated net worth at $900 million), soccer star Lionel Messi (estimated net worth at $600 million), and Beyoncé (estimated net worth at $500 million).
