Billionaires had a very very good 2012. If you believe the good people at Bloomberg
(and we do, we do) the richest 100
billionaires added $241 billion to their
wealth this past year.
The richest people on the planet got even richer in 2012,
adding $241 billion to their collective net worth, according to the Bloomberg
Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the world’s 100 wealthiest individuals. The aggregate net worth of the world’s top moguls stood at
$1.9 trillion at the market close on Dec. 31, according to the index. Retail
and telecommunications fortunes surged about 20 percent on average during the
year. Of the 100 people who appeared on the final ranking of 2012, only 16
registered a net loss for the 12-month period.
