For the 24th consecutive year, Bill Gates is America's richest person, having amassed a fortune of $89 billion (up $8 billion from last year). One billionaire who didn’t fare as well is President Donald Trump, whose $3 billion was only good enough for 248th place on the list. Trump lost $600 million over the past year to drop 92 spots, as his portfolio was battered by a rough New York real estate market, costly lawsuits and an expensive presidential campaign. Below are the 10 richest people in the world, along with their net worths, according to Forbes:
1. Bill Gates, $89 billion
2. Jeff Bezos, $81.5B
