NextImg:The Richest Person in Each US State

As of 2023, the United States still boasts the most billionaires with 775 list members, according to Forbes, which released its list of the wealthiest people in the country for the first time since 2019 on June 15.

Nearly every state has a billionaire resident, according to the report. However, four states make up 60 percent of billionaires in the United States as of June 12: California (179), New York (130), Texas (73), and Florida (92). As of June 2023, only three states are without a billionaire: Alaska, Delaware, and West Virginia. Nearly two-thirds of these billionaires and centimillionaires are self-made, while the rest inherited their fortunes, according to Forbes.

The youngest person on the list is Illinois’ 36-year-old Lukas Walton, who gained his wealth as part of the family that owns Walmart, while the oldest billionaire is 93-year-old Annette Lerner of Maryland, the widow of Washington Nationals owner Ted Lerner.

Additionally, the five richest people in the report are Elon Musk ($230 billion), Jeff Bezos ($149 billion), Larry Ellison ($146 billion), Warren Buffett ($117 billion), and Larry Page ($105 billion). Furthermore, the top 10 billionaires have a combined net worth of over $1 trillion, which is more than the total GDP of many countries.

Elon Musk, who has recently regained the title of world’s richest person, according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index ranking, has been in and out of the No. 1 spot on the Bloomberg index in recent years.

Worldwide, the number of billionaires fell from 2,668 in 2022 to 2,640 this year. The United States is followed by China (495), India (169), and Germany (126).

Here are the richest residents of each state, according to a real-time list from Forbes, as of June 12:
