When you think about the richest residents of the Bay Area, obviously Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Travis Kalanick probably come to mind, but you may wonder just who else is sitting on so much money that creating a free-wheeling, libertarian offshore-nation actually sounds like an appealing proposition. Thankfully, Forbes stepped up and released a list of the top 20 wealthiest people in America — 14 of which, the Business Times helpfully highlights, live right here by the Bay.

The list, which covers the tech, real estate, and financial sectors, is not altogether that surprising other than as a reminder of just how much money those on it actually have. Like, we're talking GDP of Costa Rica rich.

Here, for your listicle pleasure, are the top 14 in descending order:

• 14) Brian Acton of WhatsApp. Worth $5.4 billion.
  
• 13) John A. Sobrato of Sobrato Organization Real Estate. Worth $5.9 billion.
  
• 12) Travis Kalanick of Uber. Worth $6.3 billion.
  
• 11) Charles Schwab of Charles Schwab. Worth $6.6 billion.
  
• 10) Gordon Moore of Intel Corp. Worth $7.6 billion.
  
• 9) Jan Koum of WhatsApp. Worth $8.8 billion.
  
• 8) Dustin Moskovitz of Facebook. Worth $10.4 billion.
  
• 7) Eric Schmidt of Google. Worth $11.3 billion.
  
• 6) Elon Musk of Tesla, SpaceX. Worth $11.6 billion.
  
• 5) Laurene Powell Jobs of Apple. Worth $17.7 billion.
  
• 4) Sergey Brin of Google. Worth $37.5 billion.
  
• 3) Larry Page of Google. Worth $38.5 billion.
  
• 2) Larry Ellison of Oracle. Worth $49.3 billion.
  
• 1) Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. Worth $55.5 billion.
  

Meanwhile, the richest person in the country is still grandpa nerd-king Bill Gates. He's reportedly worth $81 billion.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go stare at my bank account balance and cry.
