3月2日、雑誌「フォーブス」が2015年版の世界長者番付を発表した。番付にはいくつかサプライズがあった。マイケル・ジョーダンが番付入りしたのだ！ しかし世界の富裕層の構成に関しては、それほど大きな変化はない。
2015年の億万長者トップ10を紹介しよう。この世界長者番付は資産、推定される自己資本からフォーブスが算定したものである。
10位 リリアンヌ・ベタンクール ロレアル 約4兆8000億円
9位 ジム・ウォルトン ウォルマート 約4兆8620億円
8位 クリスティ・ウォルトン 約5兆0000億円
7位 デビッド・コーク コーク・インダストリーズ 約5兆1380億円
6位 チャールズ・コーク コーク・インダストリーズ 約5兆1330億円
5位 ラリー・エリソン オラクル 約6兆5000億円
4位 アマンシオ・オルテガ ザラ 約7兆7250億円
3位 ウォーレン・バフェット バークシャー・ハサウェイ 約8兆7000億円
2位 カルロス・スリム・ヘル テルメックス他 約9兆2330億円
1位 ビル・ゲイツ マイクロソフト 約9兆4850億円
2015年の番付は2014年とかなり似ている。ビル・ゲイツやカルロス・スリム・ヘルは2014年も1位、2位だった。しかし少しだけ順位の変動がある。ロレアルの相続者リリアン・ベタンクールが変動の少ないトップ10に再び入ってきた。
フォーブスのレポートを見ると、女性には良い年だといえる。長者番付は男性が圧倒的多数であるのに変わりはないが、資産10億ドルドル以上の億万長者1826人のうち、女性が197人いる。これは昨年の172から増えて過去最高だ（1826人も過去最多）。

9 Billionaires Who Don't Work On Wall Street
J.K. Rowling Wrote A Book(01 of64)
J.K. Rowling was a single mother on welfare when she wrote \"Harry Potter and the Philosopher\'s Stone,\" the first book of the phenomenally successful Harry Potter series. Rowling received 12 rejections before Bloomsbury finally agreed to buy the manuscript for about $4,000. The rest is history. By 2011, Rowling was worth approximately $1 billion. (credit:AP)
Sara Blakely Created Cool Undergarments(02 of64)
Sara Blakely had never worked in fashion or taken a business class when she founded Spanx. But she did have $5,000 in savings and a good idea. That was enough for Blakely to turn the slimming undergarment company into a $500 million dollar-per-year machine. Along the way, Blakely\'s net worth reached $1 billion and she became Forbes\' youngest female billionaire. (credit:Getty Images)
Jim Koch Made High-Quality Beers(03 of64)
Jim Koch\'s passion for quality craft beer is all he needed to help turn the company into America\'s second-largest brewery (along with an old family recipe, of course). Shares of Boston Beer, the name behind the famous Samuel Adams brand, have doubled in the last year, making Koch, the founder and chairman of the Boston Beer Co., the first craft beer billionaire.

Hamdi Ulukaya Made An Impulse Purchase(04 of64)
When Chobani founder Hamdi Ulukaya left Turkey for the U.S. in 1994, he had no intention of getting into the yogurt business. But following his father\'s advice, Ululaya took out a loan in 2005 to buy an old Kraft Foods manufacturing plant, and in 2007 he began selling his yogurt locally. Today, Chobani is the number one selling yogurt brand in the U.S., which has made Ulukaya worth an estimated $1.1 billion.\n (credit:AP)
Dietrich Mateschitz Created An Energy Drink(05 of64)
One day while sitting in a hotel bar in Hong Kong, Dietrich Mateschitz came up with the idea to sell an energy-boosting drink similar to a popular one being sold in Asia. Despite an initial flop, Dietrich persevered -- and thanks to aggressive advertising and a killer tagline, Red Bull now sells approximately 4 billion cans per year. Dietrich, Forbes estimates, is worth $7.1 billion. (credit:PA)
Michael & Marian Ilitch Started A Pizza Shop(06 of64)
Michael and Marian Ilitch got their start with one small pizza shop in 1959. The couple soon after poured their entire life savings into the restaurant. It was a good bet. That one little pizza shop became Little Caesars Pizza, the third largest pizza chain in the U.S. They are now worth a combined $2.7 billion.\n (credit:AP)
Amancio Ortega Made Affordable, Chic Clothes(07 of64)
Spanish native Amancio Ortega was raised poor and never received any higher education. But one day, while working as a store manager, Ortega realized that very few people could actually afford the expensive clothing he was selling. So he began hand-stitching similar designs out of cheaper fabric. He started his first factory at the age of 27, opened the first Zara in 1975 and today is the fourth richest person in the world, with a net worth of $55.6 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

John Paul DeJoria Cared About Hair(08 of64)
John Paul DeJoria was homeless not once but twice before he co-founded the multi-million dollar hair care company John Paul Mitchell Systems. In fact, DeJoria was living out of his car when he and business partner Paul Mitchell launched the company with only $700. Today DeJoria is worth more than $4 billion. (credit:Getty)
Oprah Winfrey Wanted To Be On TV(09 of64)
Believe it or not, Oprah Winfrey was demoted early on in her career while she was working as a co-anchor for Baltimore\'s WJZ-TV in 1977. But she never lost sight of her dream to be on television. Today, Oprah is the world\'s most powerful celebrity and is worth about $2.8 billion, according to Forbes. (credit:AP)
