New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, at No. 17, is the only member of the top 20 whose net worth climbed during the past year. Bloomberg, who makes a salary of $1 a year as mayor, benefited from a re-evaluation of his company, Bloomberg LP. He also bought a 20 percent stake in his company from cash-strapped Merrill Lynch in July for $4.5 billion. Thirty-two Russians made Forbes' list, down nearly two-thirds from the 2008 total. |
How the hell did he become a multi-billionaire on $1 a year? He must be a billion years old!
