Each year, FORBES magazine publishes the FORBES 400 list , a ranking of the 400 richest people in America. However, the rich do not always get richer. After a difficult 2021 for the world economy, the 400 richest people in the United States have been affected by rising inflation and falling markets.
As a group, this year’s Forbes 400 is $500 billion less wealthy than it was a year ago . His total net worth stands at $4 trillion, down 11% from last year.
The richest people in the United States have pooled their fortunes for different reasons, be it inheritance, family separations, a few lucky investments or a life full of work to get to that position, and they all work in different sectors such as technology, sports, transport or food. The FORBES 400 list of the 20 richest people in the United States includes two people from the Mars family, one of the largest candy-producing companies in the world.
Here we leave you the complete list of the richest American billionaires in the food sector. The figures correspond to September 2, 2022.
