Comme chaque année, Forbes met à jour son classement 2015 des 500 hommes et femmes les plus riches de la planète. Des self made men, en passant par les héritiers ou celles et ceux qui font prospérer un empire construit par leurs pères voici donc le classement des hommes les plus riches du monde en 2015.

Le haut du classement ne change pas trop des autres années. Tout simplement car les bourses mondiales et surtout américaines ont poursuivi leur ascension. Surtout les hommes à la tête de ce classement ne sont pas impactés par la chute des prix du pétrole. Comme depuis plus de cinq ans maintenant le trio de tête est constitué de Bill Gates, Carlos Slim et Warren Buffet. Le premier français du classement est une française, héritière de L’Oréal: Liliane Bettencourt. Bernard Arnault, 13ème est à 10% de la fortune personnelle de Madame Bettencourt. Mark Zuckenberg n’est plus très loin, 16ème.
