Forbes released yesterday its annual list of the world’s billionaires. Of the 1,226 names on the list worth a collective $4.6 trillion—both all-time records, by the way—14 of them live in the greater Washington area.
Washington Business Journal sorted out the billionaires with local ties. Topping the list was candy-bar heiress Jacqueline Mars. The 72-year-old Mars, who lives in The Plains, Va., is worth $13.8 billion, making her the fourth-wealthiest woman on the planet and 52nd overall, a rank she shares with her brothers, John and Forrest.
Other names making the list include manufacturing conglomerate brothers Mitchell and Steven Rales, Carlyle Group founder and ancient document enthusiast David Rubenstein, AOL founder Steven Case and Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who is tied at $1.1 billion with Under Amour founder Kevin Plank and Chevy Chase Bank founder Bernard Saul.
But of the 14 local billionaires, Steven Rales is the only one to keep a residence inside the District, according to Forbes’ database.
