After looking over the recently released Forbes 400 list (the richest 400 people in America), I noticed the list has included more and more individuals in the "Finance/Investments" category. The growth in assets managed by Hedge Funds and Private Equity companies has been a major cause of this increase. In the Forbes 400 magazine, it shows a graphic representation of each category since the first list in 1982 (25 years ago). In 2007, Finance and Investments had the largest number of members in the list. Below I list which categories have grown or shrunk over the years:
