Forbes magazine's list of The World's Billionaires has ranked him as the richest person on earth for the last thirteen consecutive years, with a current net worth of approximately $53 billion. When family wealth is considered, his family ranks second behind the Walton family.
The Walton family is the richest family in the world, their wealth inherited from Bud and Sam Walton, founders of the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart. The five most prominent members (Jim, Christy, Rob, Alice, and Helen) have consistently been in the top ten of the Forbes 400 since 2001, although Helen dropped to #11 in 2006. Collectively, they control over 39% of the company, and are worth approximately $15 billion each, for a combined total of $77.7 billion. -
Chinese and the English uses the same standard for billion or YI (in chinese) That is 1000,000,000. As for the USA they tries to act smart and don't want to follow that union jack so they put billion as 10,000,000,000. Today most country no choice got to follow the USA billion 10,000,000,000. But still when converted to chinese Yi, the billion is commonly known as 10 yi.
