10 Richest People In The World – Who Are They?

There are a lot of rich people in the world. They might make up a small percent of the entire population but that still leaves a lot of people, like way more than you can imagine. The population of earth is 1,5 billion people and let’s say the rich take up only 1% of that. That’s still 75 million people. Who are these people? You probably immediately think of Hollywood or like recent billionaires like Kim Kardashian, but you’d be wrong. These are people who own a few million, or in Kim’s case one billion dollars. The richest people in the world are worth more than that. Let’s take a look at 10 richest people in the world.

Jeff Bezos – $176 billion

Jeff Bezos has been keeping his title of the richest man for a while now. He’s the founder and owner of Amazon, and despite the wide criticism he gets for not treating his employees well and the working conditions being bad and the salaries not being fair, people keep buying stuff from amazon, making Jeff richer every year.

Bernard Arnault – $113.2 billion

This man is the chief executive of the largest luxury goods company in the world. LVMH, full name Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton SE, is what’s making him the second richest person in the world and the richest man in fashion. Being in charge of luxury goods is clearly a good place to be.

Bill Gates – $112.8 billion

Bill Gates needs no introduction, but in case you’ve been living under a rock he’s the cofounder of Microsoft. He’s one of those billionaires that has too much money to know what to do with it, so he actually gives away quite a lot to fund various charities and support medical research.

Warren Buffett -$72.2 billion

Warren Buffett is known as a business tycoon, and the best investor. He clearly knows how to invest, because at this point he’s the 4th richest man in the world. He’s also the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, a multinational conglomerate holding company based in the US.
