Methodology: The list of the richest people, compiled by CEOWORLD magazine, was created using financial information from various reliable sources such as individuals, families, stock exchanges, private databases, and analysts. Net worth figures are based on both exchange rates and stock prices. The value of private companies was determined using financial ratios and other comparisons with comparable publicly traded companies. In some cases, family fortunes were divided. The editors reserve the right to modify the list in the event of new information.<\/p>\n
