Subject: Forbes' list 465 billionaires
Forbes lists more global billionaires
Microsoft fortunes growing rapidly
June 21, 1999
NEW YORK -- A booming stock market and newly created
Internet wealth have expanded the world's billionaire club and
pushed the collective net worth of the richest 200 working
people -- excluding dictators and royalty,-- beyond $1 trillion,
Forbes magazine says in its latest ranking of billionaires around
the globe.
In its 13th annual list of the world's billionaires, the magazine
counts 465; No. 1 is Microsoft Corp. cofounder and chairman Bill
Gates, with $90 billion to his name. Gates remains by far the
world's richest man as his net worth nearly doubled from $51 billion
last year, briefly touching $100 billion in April before the stock
market retreated for a while.
Microsoft boosted two others into top five ranking. Paul Allen,
cofounder of Microsoft, was in the No. 3 spot, with a $30-billion
net worth, behind investor Warren Buffett's $36 billion. Microsoft
president Steven Ballmer was in fourth place, with $19.5 billion.
In fifth place were the Oeri, Hoffman and Sacher families of
Switzerland with $17 billion from the Roche pharmaceuticals
conglomerate.
Tied for sixth place with a net worth of $16.5 billion were oil,
rail and telecommunications magnate Philip Anschutz and Dell
Computer Corp. chairman Michael Dell, who at 34 was the youngest
among the top 10.
The next four spots, eight through 11, are held at $16 billion
each by members of the Walton family, heirs of the late Sam
Walton, founder of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
