Bill Gates back at the top of America's Richest list
Microsoft’s founder is the worth more than the Anglo bailout.
FORBES HAS RELEASED its list of the 400 richest Americans, and Bill Gates has come out on top again with a fortune of $54bn.
The list is based on Forbes’ own estimations, and this year’s group needed to have at least $1bn behind them to make the cut.
The top 10 list is the same as last year, writes the LA Times, although the order has shuffled around a bit.
Check out the big names on the 400 list:

#11 and #12
#35
#97 and #110
#15, #18 and #42
