In fact, a ranking of the world’s 500 wealthiest humans showed this week that the planet’s richest people  increased their overall wealth by a staggering $1 trillion in 2017 , largely helped by a surge in global stocks. As we approach the end of the year, here’s a look at the top 10 in Bloomberg’s widely watched  Billionaires Index  – as of 28 December. All are men, most are American and the majority have the tech sector to thank for their riches. 1. Jeff Bezos (total net worth $100bn) He hardly needs an introduction.
