7 Webbies Hit The Forbes’ Billionaire List
By: Karan Goel | 11th March 2010
Forbes has released its annual list of the world’s billionaires and when it comes to the web, many known faces can be seen in the list.
After regaining the throne last year, Bill Gates has once again been displaced as the world’s richest man — this time by Carlos Slim (who held that post back in 2007), but he remains the richest man in tech by a wide margin with an estimated net worth of $53 billion.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who fell off the list last year, has rejoined, tied with 20 others at #212 with an estimated net worth of $4 billion.
Check out other webbies that get featured in the list.
Larry Ellison: $28 Billion
The Oracle founder and CEO is the sixth richest person in the world this year, sitting pretty with $28 billion as his estimated net worth.
Sergey Brin & Larry Page: $17.5 Billion Each
The two Google co-founders both place 24th on the list with $17.5 billion in estimated net worth.
Jeff Bezos: $12.3 Billion
The Amazon founder and CEO is ranked #43 with $12.3 billion in estimated net worth. That’s a lot of eBooks!
Eric Schmidt: $6.3 Billion
Google CEO Eric Schmidt is ranked #117 this year, tied with News Corp. mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Steve Jobs: $5.5 Billion
Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs has watch his company’s stock price soar over the last twelve months. He’s ranked #136 with an estimated $5.5 Billion.
