The Richest People in the United States of America!

According to Forbes Magazine

Our estimates of public fortunes are a snapshot of wealth on Aug. 25, 2010, the date we locked in net worth's and rankings. We have not included dispersed fortunes (as in those of the Du Ponts) when individual net worth's are below our minimum. But we do include wealth belonging to a member's immediate relatives if the wealth can ultimately be traced to one living individual; in that case, "& family" indicates that the number shown includes money belonging to more than one person

Here's the top ten (10) list!

Hello Jim and Linda,

Hello Darren,

That's very true! And in the process drove lots of Mom and Pop store out of business in the USA and world wide!

Thank you all for stopping by with your comments!

Thanks again,

Adam

Adam, thanks for the info.  I'd like to see how many people in the top-100 are in real estate.  I heard from a few friends that, among the wealthiest people in the world, can be found salespeople, realtors, developers, and so on.  Food for thought :)  Cheers for now.  Jark
