Jobs ranks No. 140 on Billionaire list

Apple CEO Steve Jobs is worth about $4.4 billion, but that's only enough to place him No. 140 on Forbes' new list of the "The World's Riches People." Bill Gates sits atop the list with an estimated worth of $50 billion, while Warren Buffet is second with about $42 billion. Rival Dell's CEO, Michael Dell, is No. 12 with $17.1 billion. "Making a billion just isn't what it used to be. In our inaugural ranking of the world’s richest people 20 years ago, we uncovered some 140 billionaires. Just three years ago we found 476. This year the list is a record 793. They’re worth a combined $2.6 trillion, up 18% since last March. Their average net worth: $3.3 billion," according to the Forbes report.
