Wealth. Power. The four San Franciscans to make the élite Forbes list of the 20 richest people in the world have both and more. So, drumroll please! Your money-havers are Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Larry Ellison. That's two Larrys and four white male techies, as MarketWatch points out for us. Here, the rankings:
Larry Ellison, Oracle, #5 with $54.3 billion.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, #16 with $33.4 billion.
Larry Page, Google, #19 with $29.7 billion.
Sergey Brin, Google, #20 with $29.2 billion.
Bill Gates was number one on the list this year, by the by. And, spreading the wealth around, San Francisco had a few newbie billionaire remarked on by Forbes (though not in the Top 20 richest).
Brian Chesky of Airbnb is now worth $1.9 billion, which is fun. And Travis Kalanick ($5.3 billion), Uber's CEO is another, plus cofounder Garrett Camp and first hire Ryan Graves also made the cut.
Further, the whole list of regular-old billionaires has some more locals on it, like Facebook's Dustin Moskovitz, and WhatsApp's Jan Koum.
