Top 20 Billionaires

I thought it would be interesting to list the top twenty (20) billionaires in the world according to Forbes. Not surprisingly, eight of them are United States citizens.

Collectively, these twenty people have a net worth of over six hundred forty billion dollars ($640,000,000,000.00). TGO
