1/ Today, @forbes.com launched its 44th annual Forbes 400 list, chronicling the wealth of the 400 richest Americans. They're collectively worth a record $6.6 trillion and it now takes a record $3.8 billion net worth to make the cut. Let's dig into the numbers. www.forbes.com/forbes-400/

2/ @chasewithorn.bsky.social broke down the facts and figures here: the richest, once again, is Elon Musk, the first person to ever break $400 billion on the Forbes 400, worth a record $428 billion. A record 71% of the list is self-made vs. inheriting their fortune. www.forbes.com/sites/chasew...

3/ Thomas Gallagher looked at the 14 newcomers to the list this year, including the wealthiest--Surge AI founder Edwin Chen at $18 billion--and several billionaires from marketing software and mobile game maker AppLovin and LNG exporter Venture Global. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

4/ Martina Castellanos broke down the numbers on the youngest billionaires on the list: Edwin Chen of Surge AI is the youngest at 37, but Robinhood cofounder Vlad Tenev isn't far behind at age 38. (The oldest is lumber mogul Archie Aldis Emmerson at 96.) www.forbes.com/sites/martin...

5/ The Forbes 400 list skews old and male, but Alicia Park dove into the women who made the list--just 15.5% this year, down from 17% last year. The wealthiest is Walmart heir Alice Walton at $106 billion, making her the 15th richest person in the U.S. www.forbes.com/sites/alicia...

7/ America's wealthiest people are getting richer, but are they donating more? Not really. Ella Malmgren broke down the numbers, showing that they donated an aggregate $319 billion over their lifetimes--only $32 billion more than last year. www.forbes.com/sites/ellama...
