American billionaires are getting richer. In its new list of the richest American
billionaires, Forbes notes that the dozen on
the magazine’s cover, including Washington’s David Rubenstein and Steve Case, are worth a combined $126 billion. The combined net worth of the 400 Americans who
make up the full list is $1.7 trillion. Furthermore, back when the list started in
1982, the cutoff for the list was a net worth of $75 million. Now it’s $1.1 billion.
Washington’s—and Baltimore’s—contribution is about where it’s been: 14 individuals
get a mention. At the top is Mars candy heiress Jacqueline Mars with $17 billion. She ranks 16th overall. At the lower end is Washington Redskins
owner Dan Snyder, with $1.1 billion and a rank of 392.
