By Elizabeth Kilgore Jan. 20. 2015

               Have you ever wondered who the richest person in your city is, or maybe who the richest person in your country, or maybe who the richest person on the planet is? Did you know that the number of billionaires has risen by 350% and that there are 1,654 billionaires on this planet to date, and that’s only including the legal ones and the ones who are billionaires on their own and not as a family or as a team? There were only 425 billionaires on the planet at the end of 2012 the rise in numbers is truly shocking. That’s a population hike of 1,229 in only two years, but who are these people, who are the richest, and what did they do to make so much money.
