Forbes today released its 2012 ranking of America's richest 400 billionaires...and Bill Gates remains the nation’s richest man for the 19th year running. See the top 10 below...
1. Bill Gates, Medina, Wash., $66 billion
2. Warren Buffett, Omaha, $46 billion
3. Larry Ellison, Woodside, Calif., $41 billion
4. Charles Koch, Wichita, Kan., $31 billion
5. David Koch, New York City, $31 billion
6. Christy Walton & family, Jackson, Wyo., $27.9 billion
7. Jim Walton, Bentonville, Ark., $26.8 billion
8. Alice Walton, Fort Worth, Texas, $26.3 billion
9. S. Robson Walton, Bentonville, Ark., $26.1 billion
10. Michael Bloomberg, New York City, $25 billion
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg was the biggest dollar loser. The company’s lackluster IPO in May resulted in a huge drop in market value that cut the value of his shareholdings almost in half, costing him $8.1 billion in net worth. That dropped Zuckerberg from No. 14 on the list to No. 36. See more at

The real Illuminati. Not the other non-entities you call.
Forbes will soon start losing their respectability and relevance. How many lists will they keep bringing out. Na wah.
Anyone who believes those numbers must be a fool

I still wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad....smiling next to Oprah and Bill Gates ;) And yeah...i want to be seen on the walls of Oprahs blog too.....
Billionaires to be...we too much, i sip my coffee jeje
So all these celebrities wey dey do MTV crib no even make the list.
This is an inspiring list as always, I will check out the full article. I think it's time someone toppled Mr Gates though ;-) http://www.edifyempower.com
Insanely Wealthy people can't shout and the bulk of them treasure their privacy so you won't be seeing 'em on Cribs.
Keep your eyes peeled cos Zibah's name would soon be on that list (on 2nd thought, I would rather be another anonymous billionaire)
A wise man leaves an inheritance for his kids. You see how many family names turned their fathers fortune around and the wealth is still flowing. Na wa o

With this ur english? I don't think so.
So I'm not related to any of these people? :-( this life!!
Oprah stood out in the picture, she looks fabulous
I quite agree with u @nenyeAD... Not like I really care who emerges d world's richest or poorest- doesn't change d price of garri in d market!
now i need to work towards getting my name on this list.....
It is not the amount of money one has that matters but how many lives he/she touches positively with the money that matters. I believe one day my name shall be in list of the world richest people.
Eeeew
Top 400 not top 10

Its jes dat corruption won't let decent people work n get wat dey deserve.We need a revolution in Nigeria
What is the big deal in her bio. That is Americas for you. it is part of their life.
Linda, abeg ni dey give us zobo na, dis list is false where is ur source. D richest man in d world is CARLOS SLIM ELU followed by BILL GATES and WARREN BUFFET. Ur stupid list is not correct o. If u like, don't post my comment okay?
@ ALEX
It's AMERICA's richest, not the world's richest.
Attention to detail my friend.
@Alex...
Carlos Slim Elu is a Mexican citizen.
That is, He's from Mexico.
Mexico na em Papa land.
Linda posted the list of richest men in United States of America(God's Own Country).
Just as Dangote is the richest man in Nigeria but not in India.
Eba and egusi soup u mean?very soon soaking garri and ground nut will turn to creamed cassava flakes with peanut fries
So these Waltons are like #6-#9 sha.
And Christy Walton is the widow of one of the kids and is slightly richer than the other heirs to the Wal-Mart throne.
She married well!!! Lol!

I know my name will soon be on that list. Trust me! http://referraltask.com/ref.php?page=act/ref&invcod=195043
U r an idiot. Misfortune is not part of only Americans life. Shit happens & no country is immune to it. Ode
There's a lot of ignorant people among us. Why is Everything that's progressive is considered part of the illuminati org?
They are there now! we are coming latter. LINDA abeg ask them to remain space for me after Oprah Winfrey. e no go tooooo! tey, just in the next 7 years. ok
