Sometimes a billion isn't enough. Meet 10 billionaires who, while famous for their fortunes, fell short of the Forbes400 list of richest Americans:
published our first list of the 400 richest Americans back in 1982, the poorest person to make the rarefied club was worth $91 million, while the richest, Daniel Keith Ludwig, topped out at $2 billion. That wouldn’t even get Ludwig a spot at the bottom of the list today.
Since 2004, only billionaires have qualified for The Forbes 400, and for the second year in a row a net worth of $2.1 billion was a prerequisite. With the bar so high, a record 221 American billionaires fell short, 17 more than last year’s near-misses. Below, we highlight ten tycoons who, while famous for their fortunes, missed the cut for America’s most exclusive club.
