Money is a necessary part in everyday life. And someone has little money, but someone has a lot. However, among those who have a lot of money, there are their own “rich” and “poor”. Forbes magazine annually publishes ratings of people whose fortunes are measured in billions of dollars.

The top five in the top 10 richest American entrepreneurs according to Forbes is headed by the head of the board of directors and founder of Oracle Corporation.

In 1977, Allison, along with two Ampex colleagues, created SDL, later renamed Oracle. His goal was to create a successful database provider for users. And the venture was crowned with unprecedented success, because Oracle was the first commercial database in the IT market.

The company's business did not always go smoothly, in 1990 it suffered serious losses and its level of capitalization collapsed by 80%. However, Oracle managed to recover its lost positions, and by 2017 its capitalization reached $ 200 billion. Ellison's capitalization is a bit more modest, but he has enough for a sandwich with black caviar.

Mark Zuckerberg is considered one of the youngest and wealthiest entrepreneurs in America. He is one of the founders and developers of the social network Facebook, which is used by about 2 billion people. Zuckerberg has not left the ratings of “rich and famous” businessmen since 2010.

For example, in 2016, Zuckerberg sold shares for a total of $ 300 million and donated the proceeds to charity.

3. Warren Buffett

Owns 78 billion dollars.

Warren Edward Buffett was born in Omaha on August 30, 1930 and showed interest in business and investing from his youth, enrolling at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania in 1947.

Buffett earned his first serious capital of 10 thousand dollars thanks to the idea of ​​putting pinball machines in hairdressing salons. And the business tycoon's main investment company was Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett acquired her shares in 1965. Since then, from a textile manufacturer, Berkshire Hathaway has evolved into a huge holding uniting many different companies from different industries.

Buffett is famous not only for his successful investments, but also for the greatest act of charity in history.

2. Jeff Bezos

The state is 81.5 billion dollars.

After 7 years, Microsoft has turned into a corporation. It was in its depths that Windows was developed - the most popular OS in the world.

In 2017, Microsoft had a capitalization of over $ 600 billion.
