His wealth has roughly tripled from $35.5 billion in 2015, making him one of only 14 people worth more than $100 billion by Forbes’ reckoning. Excluding his fortune leaves a sizable hole in the Bloomberg index.

    Their list has always not included some of the truly richest people in the world, like for example some Saudis. It’s a pretty meaningless list.

        Fun fact. Fourbe in French a means dishonest person. A liar. A hypocrite.

        I always thought Forbes looked a lot like that word.

          As I said in another comment, illegal /= unethical or immoral. Most people on the list used shady, yet legal, practices. Few probably engaged in outright illegal acts to obtain their wealth.
