It’s that time of year again—Forbes just released its list of top billionaires in the world (tech edition).
You’ll notice the top three billionaires remain the same as last year, with Bill Gates holding firm in first place. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, stepped up his billionaire game a bit, making an appearance on the list this year, and in the number four spot, no less. (He almost beat out Larry Page for the number three position, too.)
Take a look at the 2014 list and compare it to 2013 and 2012 if you’d like.
