Every year, Forbes releases the Forbes 400, which provides a definitive ranking of the 400 wealthiest Americans. Combining all of their wealth would amount to a staggering $2.96 trillion. Of course, the net worth of the obscenely rich is constantly fluctuating based on the stock market, selling and purchasing of shares, investing, and donations.
