Wall Street has been riding a roller coaster lately, but the New York can still lay claim to 58 billionaires on Forbes’ 25th annual list of the world’s richest people.
The roster, which numbers a record 1,226 billionaires worth $4.6 trillion, includes such New Yorkers as Koch Industries co-owner David Koch, tied with his brother at No. 12 with $25 billion. Charles Koch, chairman and CEO of Koch Industries, calls Wichita, Kan., home, though.
Other notable Gothamites on the roster are media mogul Mayor Mike Bloomberg, at No. 20 with $22 billion and preppy designer Ralph Lauren, at No. 122 with $7.5 billion.
Members of the Big Apple billionaires club also include News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, No. 106 with $8.3 billion, as well cosmetics titan Leonard Lauder and media magnate Samuel (“Si”) Newhouse Jr. , tied at No. 131, with $7.1 billion each. (News Corp. owns The Post.)
Further down the list are New York real estate maven Donald Trump, at No. 401 with $2.9 billion, and New York Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman, at No. 546 with $2.3 billion.
The world’s richest man for the second year in a row is Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, worth about $69 billion.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is the second-wealthiest person in the world, worth a reported $61 billion, while the “Oracle of Omaha,” Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett, comes in third with an estimated $44 billion net worth.
At 41, Sara Blakely, founder of figure-enhancing Spanx, is the youngest self-made woman in the billionaires club. She ranks No. 1,153, with $1 billion.
Walmart heiress Christy Walton, No. 11, ranks as the richest woman in the world for the seventh year, with a net worth of $25.3 billion.
