About these estimates

Net worth figures use the latest available Forbes estimate, with Bloomberg used only when a current Forbes value is unavailable. Estimates can change as markets move or source data is revised.

“Latest change” compares Forbes' current net worth estimate with its previous published estimate. The interval may be longer than one day.
