The 10 richest people currently are, as has always been the case, all men. 8 of the 10 richest men are American. The three richest men are also very close to entering the Top 10 of the richest people in human history. Check out the updated Top 10 ranking of the richest people in the world of 2022. The ranking is based on the approximated net worth of each individual.
