Forbes Billionaires: 5 Entrants You Might Not Have Seen Coming...
According to Forbes, there are more than 1,800 billionaires in the world, with a combined net worth of $6.48T. While some of these are well-known, most aren't. But after reading this you'll know a few more. Yahoo dove in and compiled a list of five Forbes billionaire entrants you might not have seen coming.
One of Russia's largest foreign investors, Bill Browder, says he believes Putin’s net worth is $200B. Lower estimates put his net worth at $40B, but that still makes him one of the richest people in the world (although officially Putin claims a net worth of no more than $500k).
Born in the US, King Adulyadej of Thailand is estimated to be worth $30B, making him the second-richest world leader (behind Putin). He's also reigned as king for almost 70 years, which is equally impressive.
Amancio founded the clothing giant Zara and is worth a mind-blowing $67B. He even briefly overtook Bill Gates as the world's richest person in 2015, but his reign was short lived (unlike Bhumibol's) and he soon fell back to second place.
Michael made $110M in 2015, making him the highest-paid retired athlete. And he just makes the billionaire cut—Forbes says he is worth $1.1B.
Alexandra received a nice present from her father in 2007: $1.2B. Not bad, right? At just 19 years old, this Norwegian heiress to a family tobacco empire is the youngest billionaire in the world.
