As the 2017 Forbes rich list was revealed, it was exciting to learn that those achieving billionaire's status is on the rise. an additional 233 billionaires were added to the list, and for the first time in 31 years over 2,000 ten-figure fortunes have been recorded.

Mr Bill Gates continues to lead, taking the top spot for the fourth consecutive year. Mr Gates fortune is recorded at $86 billion, continuing his rein at near the top of the richest people in the world chart for the last 18 years.

The Forbes chart is also looking promising for female entrepreneurs, as 15 new self-made women enter the chart. As the list now includes 227 female billionaires, it is suspected that there will be an increase in inspiration and competition within the female led business world.
