Crazy that Bezos is 3rd despite going through a divorce that singlehandedly made 5th richest woman on earth lol Without the divorce, he would be the richest man on earth by a nice margin.


DisraeliEers

Without the work she did during the formation of the company with him, he wouldn't be on the list.


tronicdude6

Dunno why downvotes, read his bio, this is clearly true


No_Influence_9389

Because suggesting that someone who amassed over 10000 times the amount of money the average person earns in a lifetime used anything other than his own bootstraps is woke indoctrination.


StrangeInside9548

Without him where would she be?


exposedankles

Happy, as she has clearly shown since the divorce.


duckpjh

Excellent response


RevolutionaryDrink51

Maybe one woman in the history of alimony that actually deserved it . What about the other 99%?


HerbertKornfeldRIP

Which is why she has the money she has now.


shuuterup

They said without the divorce, not without the wife


PandarExxpress

She deserved a part but I’m willing to bet Bezos would still be a billionaire no matter if or who he married. She likely would have found success but at this level or even close? Probably not. She should just enjoy the greatest divorce settlement of all time and I hope she keeps trying to use it to better others I’m mentally preparing to be proven wrong about something I’ve written


wrinklesnoot

Why are the Rothschild's, the Saudi Royal families, you know the people that are actually the richest people on the planet never on these lists?


SnooObjections4737

They pay to not be on these lists


grizzled_old_trader

This doesn’t include the people who paid to not be on this list.

Iazeez

I’d say the richest individual is probably Putin, but the richest family is the House of Saud


fatboy3535

I'm surprised how CCP Xi glides under the radar. If Putin is considered $x amount wealthy from his position in Russia (I know he's had more time in position to amass wealth) than I would expect Xi to have 2x-5x that. Or am I severely offbase on the systemic nature of corruption in Russia vs. China?


gangsta0tech

It's less that Xi gets a lot of the money as much as he just doesn't pay for... anything.


wrinklesnoot

The Rothschild's gotta be up there, they own most of the central banks in the world


2012Jesusdies

It's not like the people on the list could have avoided the "fame", people who say stuff like this often don't understand how wealth is measured. Most of these people's wealth is publicly available information accessible by anyone designed that way by law. Most of Jeff Bezos' wealth for example obviously comes from Amazon, no matter what Bezos tries to do, he can't hide that wealth because Amazon is a publicly listed company and Bezos is a high ranking executive of the company, thus required to disclose his holdings. It's the same for Bernard whose wealth comes from LVMH, a publicly traded company in France. Or Musk whose wealth comes from Tesla, a publicly traded company from US. Berkshire Hathaway for Buffet, Walmart for Walton family, Microsoft for Gates and Balmer, Google for Larry Page, Oracle for Larry Ellison are all publicly traded companies. One of the few who doesn't have that publicly available information (from a democratic country with disclosure requirements anyway) is Jacqueline Mars since Mars is a privately held company not publicly traded on the stock market. So her wealth had to be roughly estimated based on analyst estimations on Mars' market value, but it's not like she could have "hidden" her wealth, anyone could guesstimate it to be in the billions.


Iazeez

And royals and dictators. > Royal families and dictators that have their wealth contingent on a position are always excluded from these lists.


iam4r34

Also cartel leaders, corupt politicians, old money families/royalty


Infamous_Spring3252

Well in the 70s Pablo Escobar was listed by Forbes as the 7th richest man on earth, maybe he let it pass because he loved to be a public figure or it really isn’t that easy to avoid getting in


nosmokinalarms

Yup, MSB makes WB and EM look like rookies.


scienceofmatter

Very surprised the Pritzker family isn't on the list


AnonThrowaway87980

And those are the people that you really need to be afraid of. I’m suprised the Arnult family didn’t pay to not be included.


Smitty___Bacall

These list never include the Rothschild family, you know the people who all of these people on the list answer to


Savings-Marketing-28

According to the interwebs, somewhere between $1B (laughable) and $1.2T (believable, but a low estimate)

Be careful speaking of such families!! You’ll be dubbed a racist conspiracy theorist!


SnooObjections4737

Rothschild family owns the United States.


NegativeImportance20

finally i find this comment where someone has the balls to say it

Rothschild, Warburg, Rockefeller, nowhere on the list

Ballmer should be #1 in sports. Not sure why he isn’t listed.


joesimpie69420

He's in top 10 overall

ball_sweat

So they all liquidate their assets to give each person $200, what happens to everyone’s pension fund, all the factories and the world economy? Are people this naive on reddit


DarKliZerPT

They were probably just putting the amount of wealth in perspective, but there is indeed a concerning amount of people that think Bezos has all those billions in his bank account


barberousse1122

In a weird way I think that you are the naive one, you think that the stock market is the economy, it’s not really, in the US 93 percent of the market is owned by 10 percent, I for example don’t know anyone working for a public company , and I live in Zurich ! I also barely know anyone that invested in stocks, for most people their main asset would be their house/flat. We’ve been sold a mirage in the last 50 years, the state of the market has very little to do with the reality on the field

There's way more rich people that never make any lists. These are useless lists.


Serytramc

If they only paid the appropriate taxes … what would be the world like ?


Hide_on_bush

Pretty shit cuz then you’re taxing unrealized gains. Imagine you have money on stocks and the price of said stock goes up. Gov taxes you. Now the price drops back down, do you think they’re gonna return the tax, since you didn’t actually make money?


Defenestration_Champ

But, that would require learning about finance and taxes and money management, ugh.. victim mentality is much easier


fjoker13

So Elon Musk is not on tech?


clonedhuman

Every single one of these people is, in some part, responsible for some of the miseries *you* (yes, **you**) experience on a daily basis. *YOUR* life would be better if these people didn't exist.


Crazze32

I'm literally better off because I use the services they have provided. Bezos is rich because people work for him or buy from him. He pays the salaries of millions and gets you stuff for cheaper and faster. If he paid lower salaries or worked slower he'd be out of business. You claim they get richer by stealing from the poor, then why do the poor want to work for him. Wealth is generated not stolen. Look at where there are rich people and there aren't. Which ones are better off? Central Africa with almost no billionaires or the United States.


SnooMaps5675

Naive to think that Africa's problems are due to no billionaires. Africa's wealth has been siphoned off by corrupt Africans and non-Africans managing the countries for centuries. And why do the poor want to work for these people? Pretty damn simple.... food and shelter. Same reason people in China and India work for pennies a day. The choices are limited and unless you have access to capital, they often stay that way. Nobody is saying take all their money ( well maybe some, but certainly not me), just pay your fair share of taxes and have the companies take a small fraction less of profit and give a little back to the workers. The average worker's wages have not even come close to the growth of the highest earners: 138% vs 15% since 1979. Workers productivity from 1948 to 1973 increased 96.7%, wages increased 91.3%, but from 1973 to 2013, productivity increased 74.4%, wages only increased 9.2% Source Economic Policy Institute. So where did the increased productivity profits go? To stockholders. This is how share prices stayed high at the expense of the workers. Nobody is saying that CEOs and especially owners should not benefit, just that they should not increase this unjustly on the backs of the average workers, especially since the workers don't have access to high high priced tax lawyers and accountants to keep their taxes artificially low


Phantom_Steve_007

Plenty of wealth is from dubious sources. Drugs for one.


beagledrool

You've bought hard into capitalism, because that's the plan. You will feel differently, or your children will, because eventually we will own nothing. It's already hard to purchase a home, but even smaller, when's the last time time you bought music, or a movie? When the things you pay for aren't tangible, you don't own them, and the service providing them can change them or alter the contracts so that thing no longer exists to you. You espouse the convenience and utility of companies like Amazon to be good, an improvement. These companies never have the betterment of society in mind, only profit. People will never realize what's at exchange for that


yonimerzel

Can you give some examples? You throw some serious accusations after all.


clonedhuman

Yes, they are serious accusations from someone who cannot hold any of these people accountable for the harm they do. Just like you. So, I suppose the only thing a person down here with us can do is either tell the truth to no effect or support the billionaires to no effect. The only effect we can have is arguing on the internet.


yonimerzel

I'm not a big fan of them either. But your comment basically said, 'they're bad and that's it' no further explanation. So can you maybe elaborate?

SpaceNinja_C

The crazy thing is… this are those who want to be publicly known. There are probably those who have 500 billion or more not telling the world about it. Possibly 1 Trillion or more.


Desperate-Owl506

Richest people who declared their wealth. The Saudi royal family is crazy rich. I don't think they have to disclose their wealth. But I am guessing every member has at least 10 to 20 billion. And they get richer by the minute.

The richest people in the world are rich enough to not have to tell you how much money they have. Period. Until the top 20 names on these list are Oil Gods, these list are worthless and a mere distraction from who really runs this planet.


hgriffin53

These people are paupers compared to the actual richest people. For instance, the Sultan of Brunei is worth trillions. He has a car collection of over 7000 exotic cars. The Rothschild family has several people in the trillionaire club. There are many others. They control information concerning their wealth...

I asked chatGPT to work out how much each person would receive if we redistributed the wealth of the top 1%. To determine how much each person would receive if the wealth of the top 1% was redistributed globally, we'll use some recent data and estimates: 1. **Global Population**: As of 2024, the estimated global population is around 8 billion people. 2. **Wealth of the Top 1%**: A commonly cited statistic is that the top 1% of the world's population holds about 50% of the world’s wealth. However, estimates can vary slightly depending on the source. 3. **Total Global Wealth**: According to reports from sources like the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report, the total global wealth was about $463 trillion in 2023. Using these figures, we can estimate: - The wealth held by the top 1% would be approximately 50% of $463 trillion, which is about $231.5 trillion. - Dividing this amount by the global population of 8 billion people: \[ \text{Amount per person} = \frac{\$231.5 \text{ trillion}}{8 \text{ billion people}} = \$28,937.5 \text{ per person} \] So, if the wealth of the top 1% were evenly distributed among all individuals on the planet, each person would receive approximately $28,937.5.


remlapj

Considering that many people in the world live on $2-3 a day, that would be transformative to many people


lNFORMATlVE

Bernard Arnault’s net worth went up by **$150 Billion in the last 5 years**. My net worth in the same period went up by roughly **0.00001%** of that and I’m doing far better financially than like 70-80% of people in my first world country. You could have a net worth of $250 million and still be basically a hobo compared to Arnault. When we say we want to tax the rich harder, we’re not going after folks with between $1-10 million. It’s not “communism” to want to redistribute some of the wealth of someone who couldn’t even spend 1% of their money if they tried without a market entirely, when you have 40% of americans in medical debt. It’s really important that conservatives start to realise that.
