27 billionaires call Florida home among record 1,210 richest worldwide, says Forbes list
Wake up and good morning. The annual Forbes list of the world's billionaires is out with the usual jockeying of mega-wealth among the richest of the rich. China and Russia now have more than 100 billionaires apiece, while India added 55 and Brazil 30. And Moscow is the now home of the most billionaires, 79, topping former No. 1 city New York, now with 58.
