\"\"Bill Gates has retained his title as the world\u2019s richest person, an American business magazine said Monday.<\/h1>\n

The fortune of the Microsoft co-founder grew $3.2 billion since last year to $79.2 billion, according to Forbes’ list of 2015’s richest people.<\/p>\n

Gates has held the title for 16 of the past 21 years.<\/p>\n

The magazine said there is now a record 1,826 billionaires with an aggregate net worth of $7.05 trillion. The figure topped 2014’s record-breaking $6.4 trillion sum by $650 billion.<\/p>\n

The list included 290 newcomers, 71 of whom are from China.<\/p>\n

Also in the top five are Mexican entrepreneur Carlos Slim Helu ($77.1 billion), American investor Warren Buffett ($72.7 billion), Spanish fashion mogul Amancio Ortega ($64.5 billion) and Oracle Corporation founder Lanai Larry Ellison ($54.3 billion).<\/p>\n

At $33.4 billion, Facebook\u2019s Mark Zuckerberg moved up 5 spots to number 16, his first time ranking among the world\u2019s 20 richest.<\/p>\n

Arguably the most renowned newcomer in the list is basketball legend Michael Jordan, with a net worth of $1 billion.<\/p>\n

Most of Jordan\u2019s wealth comes from his Nike subsidiary — Brand Jordan — and his stake in the NBA team Charlotte Hornets, according to Forbes (Anadolu Agency).<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 14)<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
