The Forbes list of the richest people in the world

2,755 billionaires and millionaires make up the Forbes list of the richest people in the world. That's 660 more than in 2020, even though the pandemic devastated the global economy.

In fact, the group of billionaires and millionaires in the world managed to accumulate 5 billion dollars during the pandemic year than they had in the year before that.

At the same time, some illustrious names that dominated the list for years have now fallen out of the top 10 for the first time: Jack Ma, Amancio Ortega, and Carlos Slim have ceded their places to other businessmen.
