Nah the wealthiest people aren't on the list, and they are much wealthier than any of these guys. The family of Saud is way up there but keep most of their wealth hidden.

They're a big family though, none of which have more than Musk INDIVIDUALLY.

You'd be right about Putin and other despots with de facto one person ownership of entire countries worth of wealth and resources, though.

Yes if you think what they report officially is correct. Most everyone is aware they only report a small fraction of their wealth. Musk is by far not the first trillionair, he is the first one publicly.

Most everyone is aware

Evidently not true if you have to insist on it being true.

The weird guy who always hangs at my local train station once told me he's a trillionaire. Now you're telling me it might be true???

Maybe he was slurring 'train engineer'.
