Hasta La Ideas

For the 23rd straight year, Forbes has named Bill Gates the richest person in America. Gates’ net worth of $81 billion was good enough to once again earn him the top spot on the Forbes 400.

While it was business as usual for the number one spot, there was a change to the runner-up. Jeff Bezos ($67 billion) has supplanted Warren Buffett ($65 billion) in the number two spot for the first time in 15 years.

We know you’re wondering about Donald Trump. Despite his claims that he’s worth $10 billion, Forbes put it at more like $3 billion. Trump’s fortune declined by a whopping $800 million since last year’s Forbes 400. He’s now just the 157th richest person in the nation. Sad!
