From Bezos to Gates to Buffett, at the beginning of last year, the top 10 richest people in the world had a total wealth of $855.1 billion as compared to $740.7 billion now. That’s an increase of $114.4 billion.  I mean, Steve Ballmer alone has added $22.6 billion to his net worth.

To identify net worths of the world’s top 10 richest people CEOWORLD magazine reviewed Bloomberg Billionaires Index data as ranked February 2019, compared to the same billionaires’ net worth in February 2020. In the last only year, the rich have gotten a whole lot richer.
