A comprehensive list of the top 20 richest people in the world, compiled using real-time data results from Forbes; as of 15th September 2020.
The Richest Billionaires On Earth
What would you do with $1 billion dollars safely tucked away in your bank account? Your answer is likely "a lot," but the real question is, what couldn't you do with it? Try asking the top 20 richest people in the world, who together have a combined wealth of $1.6+ trillion USD, and counting.
If the amounts we're speaking of isn't mouth-watering enough, hold the thought of, the world's richest man earning approximately $3.7k per second, $222k per minute, and $13.4 million per hour. No offence, but unless you've been living under a rock, you'll obviously know who he is LOL!
Who Are The Richest People?
Our list features the top 20 richest people in the world including technology titans such as, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Oracle's Larry Ellison, the electric car visionary and SpaceX pioneer Elon Musk; luxury goods behemoth Bernard Arnault, and the beauty and cosmetics heavyweight, L'Oréal's Françoise Bettencourt Meyers.
Speaking of Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, she happens to be the richest woman in the world, and is one of two women featuring in the list. MacKenzie Scott, formerly known as MacKenzie Bezos, is the world's second richest woman due to her stake in the online giant, Amazon.
The former wife of Jeff Bezos, the world's richest person, received a 25% share of Jeff's stake in Amazon, as part of their divorce settlement. Her stake is equivalent to 4% of the company - talk about parting gift!

During the creation of our video, we noticed rapid changes to wealth, meaning some entries may have changed by the time of uploading. For instance, Carlos Slim Helu wasn't in the twentieth position when we made the video; he replaced Chinese billionaire Zhong Shanshan.
