Forbes on Tuesday released its 2021 Forbes 400 list, a ranking of the richest Americans. The combined net worth of the top 20 people on the list is $1.8 trillion. That number includes Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, who has claimed the spot of the richest person in America for the fourth time in a row and became the first person on the Forbes 400 to be worth more than $200 billion.
The list’s richest local, after Bezos, is candy heiress and Virginian Jacqueline Mars with $31.8 billion and ranks No. 21. Mitchell Rales, the Walt Whitman High School alum who co-founded Potomac’s Glenstone museum, comes in at No. 117 with $7.5 billion. Chevy Chase native and real estate heir Bernard Saul II has $3.8 billion and a ranking of 300.
Former President Trump fell off the list for the first time in 25 years. Forbes estimated Trump’s fortune to be $2.5 billion, which is $400 million short of the cutoff to be included on this year’s list.
