Forbes released its world billionaires list, and several Ohio natives and people with ties to the Buckeye State made the list. See who they are.

T he world’s billionaire club has never been more crowded, reaching a record 3,028 members in 2025. Still, as in 2024, about a quarter of the list saw their net worth shrink compared to the previous year. For 107 entrepreneurs, investors and heirs on last year’s list, the drop was steep enough to knock them out of the three-comma club altogether.

Z, Rihanna, and LeBron James are not only some of the most famous people in the world but also some of the wealthiest. Forbes’ annual billionaire list just dropped, and out of 3,028 people, 23 different Black people with a combined worth of $96 billion made the cut.
