  The 2026 Forbes 400 List Of Wealthiest Americans 17.09.2026 7dk

  Just how difficult is it to make the Forbes 400 list of America’s richest people these days? Consider this: There are now a record 590 American billionaires who are simply not rich enough. With the AI and data center boom in full swing and the U.S. stock market near an all-time high, it now takes a record $4.4 billion to rank among the nation’s 400 wealthiest people. That’s $600 million more than last year and $2.7 billion more than a decade ago. In all, this year’s Forbes 400 is richer than ever, worth a combined $8 trillion, up from $6.6 trillion in 2025. The massive gains start at the top of the list. Elon Musk was already the richest American of all-time last year, with a fortune of $428 billion. Since then, he has more than doubled his wealth over the past 12 months, getting $480 billion richer after taking his rocket maker SpaceX public in the biggest IPO in history in June (and briefly becoming the planet’s first-ever trillionaire). Musk is now worth an estimated $908 billion—a staggering $530 billion more than the list’s No. 2, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, who himself is $137 billion wealthier than a year ago (and ranks two spots higher), thanks to a rise in the ecommerce giant’s stock and a much higher valuation of his own rocket firm, Blue Origin. The net worth difference between Musk and Bezos now spans more than three and a half Warren Buffetts, or the bottom 105 billionaires on this year’s Forbes 400 combined.

  The Richest New Forbes 400 Member Hails From OpenAI. It Isn’t Sam Altman. 16.09.2026 6dk

  “Financially, what will take me to $1B?” Greg Brockman wrote in his journal in August 2017. Back then, OpenAI was still a nonprofit, and its cofounders—including Brockman, Sam Altman and Elon Musk—were locked in a fight over whether to launch a for-profit arm, and whether Musk would control it. “I think now is a crazy shot to be the one in charge and to step up to the challenge,” Brockman wrote. “We truly have a chance to make this happen.”  Nine years later, Brockman's private diary became the most damaging evidence used by Musk in a legal battle over his claim that OpenAI’s president Brockman and CEO Altman had convinced him to bankroll their nonprofit, then betrayed him by converting it into a for-profit business. Taking the stand in the Oakland, California, courtroom in May, Brockman said his journal entry was about wanting the “blood, sweat and tears” he’s poured into OpenAI to be worth something.

  New Angels Owner Stan Kroenke Has Already Made Nearly $20 Billion On His Sports Teams 15.09.2026 6dk

  Major pro sports teams have turned dozens of franchise owners into billionaires many times over in the last quarter-century, but nobody has made as much money from sports ownership as Stan Kroenke. The reclusive billionaire—who announced on Tuesday that he is buying a majority stake in the Los Angeles Angels from Arte Moreno, at a valuation of roughly $4 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the deal—made his fortune in real estate and stands as America’s largest private landowner, with some 2.7 million acres of ranches. But it is his sports team investments from the last three decades that now make up the majority of his estimated $27.6 billion net worth. Even before the Angels deal is complete, Kroenke’s stakes in the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, the NBA’s Denver Nuggets, the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, MLS’s Colorado Rapids, the Premier League’s Arsenal FC and the Women’s Super League’s Arsenal WFC are worth around $22 billion net of debt, according to Forbes estimates.

  How Andy Roddick Returned To The Center Of The Tennis Universe 01.09.2026 6dk

  After more than a decade away from the spotlight, former world No. 1 Andy Roddick now appears on podcasts, on live TV broadcasts and in movies—on his own terms. Roddick abruptly announced his retirement in 2013, on his 30th birthday. But at that time, podcasting was not yet a viable media category, and Roddick was adamant that he wasn’t going to follow the ATP Tour around as a TV personality, having burnt out on the global travel schedule. Roddick retreated from public view. He invested in commercial real estate, ran a foundation and focused on his young children, moving the family to Charlotte, North Carolina, to be closer to his wife’s family. When he was approached for a profile in GQ around the 20th anniversary of his Grand Slam win, it was his wife—the model and actress Brooklyn Decker—who had to talk him into it. “What’s your deal?” he remembers her saying. “It’s OK to remind people you’re alive.” Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattcraig/2026/08/28/how-andy-roddick-returned-to-the-center-of-the-tennis-universe/ Learn more about your ad choices.
