World's Richest People - 2012 Edition

Bloomberg Markets has just unveiled its latest list of the world's richest people, revealing that the wealthiest 200 are worth a collective $2.7 trillion - more than France's annual GDP. According to Bloomberg, the real story of the top 10 is Amancio Ortega, of Spain. "Nobody racked up billions faster than relatively unknown No. 3, Amancio Ortega of Spain. The 76-year-old founded Inditex SA, the world's largest clothing retailer, which is known for its more than 1,600 trendy Zara stores. He made more than $18 billion from the start of the year through Oct. 5 -- or about $66 million a day. That windfall was more than enough for the Spanish tycoon to eclipse Buffett -- who's now No. 4, with $48.4 billion as of Oct. 5."
