With a net worth estimated at $1.9 billion, New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson is ranked No. 1006 on Forbes’ new ranking of the world’s billionaires. Benson’s global ranking is up from No. 1154 last year, when his net worth was estimated at $1.6 billion. Among American billionaires, Benson is ranked No. 351 this year. He is the lone Louisiana resident on the list. For its 29th annual guide to the globe’s richest people, Forbes reports it found a record 1,826 billionaires with an aggregate net worth of $7.05 trillion, up from $6.4 trillion a year ago.

Richest Woman -
Christy Walton, who inherited a stake in retailer Wal-Mart, retains the title of world’s richest woman. The widow of John Walton has held that spot for five out of the past six years. FORBES pegs her net worth at $41.7 billion, up from $36.7 billion a year ago.

and, of course, WYHI?

Louisiana's billionaires only deal in cash and store their money under the mattress in their great grandpa's atchafalaya boat house.

He might be the only LA resident on the list, but he's not the only LA billionaire.

I met Elizabeth Holmes (#360) at a health conference last year and I did everything I could to get her to like me.

I guess she could smell the peasant on me and it was a miserable failure.

I can't wrap my head around having that kind of money. It's incomprehensible.

There are more. The smart ones distribute their wealth over time to their family rather than making a list.
