La revista Forbes publica desde el año 1986 su célebre lista de personas más ricas del mundo (The World´s Richest People by Forbes), aquellas que poseen un patrimonio mínimo de 1.000 millones de dólares. La lista de 2011, presidida de nuevo por Carlos Slim, se compone de 199 milmillonarios más que el año pasado, es decir: 1.210 billonarios, que en su conjunto aúnan una fortuna total de 4,5 billones de dólares. Los nuevos ricos que estrenan posiciones en el ranking provienen principalmente de China, India, Rusia y Estados Unidos, debilitándose la presencia de europeos. Y por sectores, el que más fortunas sigue produciendo es la energía, especialmente el petróleo.
El ranking de los más ricos del mundo no solo nos confirma que cada vez hay más ricos, sino que cada vez son más ricos. Solo los diez hombres más ricos del mundo, han aumentado su patrimonio de los 342.200 millones de dólares de 2010, a los 406.100 millones de dólares de 2011. Un crecimiento porcentual del 18,7% en un año especialmente malo para la economía mundial.
Amancio Ortega escala dos posiciones en el listado, hasta el puesto 7, y sigue siendo el español más rico del mundo. En puestos inferiores, aparecen Marck Zuckerberg (52º) con 13.500 millones de dólares, Roman Abramovich (53º) con 13.400 millones de dólares o Steve Jobs (110º) con 8.300 millones de dólares.
