Gates tops Forbes’ list of world’s wealthiest for 16th time

Microsoft founder Bill Gates is still the planet's richest man.

Forbes' 29th annual list of the world's most wealthy people included a record 1,826 billionaires, the financial mag reported on Monday.

Gates, who has topped this list 16 times, was joined in the billionaires club by 290 newcomers — 71 from the People's Republic of China, Forbes said.

The top five are Gates (worth $79.2 billion), Mexican mogul Carlos Slim Helu $77.1 billion), Omaha investment guru Warren Buffett ($72.7 billion), Spanish fashion exec Amancio Ortega ($64.5 billion) and Oracle founder Larry Ellison ($54.3 billion).

The list is also getting younger with a record 46 billionaires under the age of 40.

The youngest billionaire is 24-year-old Evan Spiegel, who made his fortune as co-founder of photo-messaging app Snapchat. He's worth $1.5 billion, according to Forbes.

Uber co-founders Travis Kalanick ($5.3 billion), 38, and Garrett Camp ($5.3 billion), 36, and their first employee Ryan Graves ($1.4 billion), 31, are also rolling in the dough.

Elizabeth Holmes, 31, is the youngest self-made woman on the list — worth $4.5 billion thanks to her blood-testing company Theranos.
