Forbes The World's Billionaires 2018 Ranking

Last accessed May 2018

The Forbes World’s Billionaires list is a snapshot of wealth using stock prices and

exchange rates from February 9, 2018. Some people will become richer or poorer
within weeks—even days—of publication. For example, Jeff Bezos’ net worth
climbed more than $12 billion in the two weeks between our measuring date for
stock prices and when this issue went to press. We list individuals rather than
multigenerational families who share large fortunes, though we include wealth
belonging to a billionaire’s spouse and children if that person is the founder of the
fortune. In some cases we list siblings or couples together if the ownership
breakdown among them isn’t clear, but here an estimated net worth of $1 billion
per person is needed to make the cut. We value a variety of assets, including
private companies, real estate, art, yachts and more. We don’t pretend to know
each billionaire’s private balance sheet (though some provide it). When
documentation isn’t supplied or available, we discount fortunes.
