Who are the richest people in the world? Let's take a closer look at the top 30 richest people in the world as of 2020. These tycoons, royals and heirs control a stunning amount of wealth.
The bare minimum amount of money needed today to rank as one of the 30 wealthiest people in the world is $30 billion. For comparison, 30 years ago, the richest man in the world was Japanese business executive named Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. Yoshiaki's 1990 net worth of $16 billion wouldn't come close to being in today's top 30. Even if you adjust for inflation, he'd rank around #28. Unfortunately, Yoshiaki's empire ended up imploding and today he is no longer even a billionaire. But we digress!
