The World's Billionaires is an annual ranking by documented net worth of the wealthiest billionaires in the world, compiled and published in March annually by the American business magazine Forbes. The list was first published in March 1987.[1] The total net worth of each individual on the list is estimated and is cited in United States dollars, based on their documented assets and accounting for debt and other factors. Royalty and dictators whose wealth comes from their positions are excluded from these lists.[3] This ranking is an index of the wealthiest documented individuals, excluding any ranking of those with wealth that is not able to be completely ascertained.[4] 2409:4070:4D16:7364:0:0:474A:6E14 (talk) 17:31, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{Gautam Adani becomes 2nd richest man in the world as per Forbes
Adani Group's Chairperson Gautam Adani's wealth surged to make him the second richest man in the world on Friday, according to the Forbes' billionaire's list. While the richest man Elon Musk's net worth stood at $273.5 billion, Adani's net worth rose to $154.7 billion followed by Bernard Arnault and family's $153.8 billion and Jeff Bezos' $149.7 billion, as per Forbes.} 103.87.27.195 (talk) 08:07, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be some uncertainty regarding whether Bill Gates led the list in 1995 and 1996. Currently, this page lists the Walton Family as leading the list in these years, yet I've found other sources saying that Bill Gates led the list these years [1][2]. There are even other references on this page to Bill Gates' lead beginning in 1995. I am unable to access the cited source for these years ([3]) and so cannot verify Forbes' original list.

I am able to access cited sources, Walton family is leading, Bill Gates is listed as world's richest private individual. The list is correct. Jklamo (talk) 12:43, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: this article is about the specific annual list compiled by Forbes. In the last edition of this list, Adani came second. Madeline (part of me) 11:13, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
