It’s that time of the year: Forbes has released its list of the world’s richest people.

Roughly 1,800 billionaires made this year’s list, with a total net worth of $6.48 trillion, down from $7.05 trillion last year.

The list saw 221 individuals drop out due to their net worth plunging below the $1 billion threshold, but there were also 198 newcomers.

In 2016, the richest 500 individuals are worth a whopping $4.16 trillion dollars U.S. In other words, 28 per cent of the richest people in the world are responsible for 64 per cent of all billionaires’ wealth.

But Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the biggest gainer on the list, moving up 10 spots from last year to claim the ranking as the world’s sixth richest person.
