Down And Off: The 27 Billionaires Who Fell Off The Forbes 400 Club In 2019

A tumultuous 2019 knocked twenty-seven billionaires out of The Forbes 400 billionaires club. Five members of last year’s list passed away, including Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who died of lymphoma in October.

The remaining four who died in the last year: David Koch ($53.5 billion); H. Ross Perot ($20.3 billion); Robert McNair ($3.8 billion), and Alexander Spanos ($2.4 billion).

That minimum net worth ($2.1 billion) for inclusion hasn’t changed since last year.
