The Forbes billionaires list is pretty amazing. It includes of course the Walton family (Wal-Mart) the Microsoft family (Bill, Steve and Paul) and Warren Buffet as old standards and it also has some newcomers, the Harry Potter author Jk Rowling, and now the Google Family (Sergey Brin and Larry Page).

The Forbes list includes only personal fortunes and not family collectively owned assets. The Walton, Microsoft and Google folks are present because each individual member has more than a 1 billion dollar share. here are the top 20 by rank. (And two of the people on the list are heirs to the corporation for which I currently work, the man holding me back again, harumphh!)
