     In the USA Forbes magazine has published its annual list of the richest people in the world. Bill Gates

of Microsoft is the richest man again for the eleventh successive year with a fortune of forty four billion

dollars.

    There are a record 691 dollar billionaires according to Forbes magazine. Between them they have a

fortune of two point two trillion dollars. The highest concentration of the ultra-rich is in New York followed by Moscow and San Fransisco and then London and Los Angeles. But in total the very wealthy live in

forty seven different countries with Iceland Kazakstan Ukraine and Poland entering the list for the first

time this year.

     Laksmi Mittal, an Indian born steel tycoon (巨头)enjoyed the biggest increase in personal fortune.

His net worth has quadrupled (变成四倍)to thirteen billion dollars making him the world's third richest

man. Ingvar Kamprad founder of the Swedish furniture chain Ikea also saw a big increase in wealth

taking him to the sixth place. Developing countries make more of a showing than in past years - there are

for example three Russians and four Indians in the top sixty richest people, though surprisingly perhaps

none from China excluding Hong Kong. Asian wealth is probably under represented as its usually spread

among families whereas Forbes looks at individuals. Relatively few women feature in the list - among them is JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels ranked 620th with a fortune of 519 million dollars. New
