Donald Trump, Sam Bankman-Fried And The Snapchat Founders: Here’s Who Fell Off The 2023 Forbes 400 List Of Richest AmericansILLUSTRATION BY Yunjia Yuan FOR FORBES; PHOTOS FROM LEFT: WWD/Getty Images; Tim Pannell for Forbes; Rick Haver/AP; Jamel Toppins for Forbesgot harder to make The Forbes 400 ranking of America’s richest people this year, with the minimum net worth required to make the list hitting a record-tying $2.9 billion.
The most famous face to join the 400 this year: Michael Jordan, the first pro athlete ever to appear in these ranks. The basketball great earned some $90 million over his playing career, but it’s his off-court moves that land him among the wealthiest Americans. For decades he has gotten a cut of every Jordan-branded sneaker, shirt or sock Nike sells—enough to bring him $260 million in estimated income over the past year alone. Big bucks have also come from the Charlotte Hornets.
The richest of all newcomers is Elisabeth DeLuca , widow of Subway founder Fred DeLuca . In August, private equity firm Roark Capital struck a deal to acquire the sandwich giant in a deal reported to be worth more than $9 billion—which could putafter taxes into the pockets of DeLuca, who inherited half the business upon her husband’s 2015 death, according toThe youngest newcomer this year is 38-year-old Josh Kushner.
Seven of this year’s new Forbes 400 listees hail from the world of finance and investments, the most of any industry. Besides Kushner, there are Seth Boro, Scott Crabill and Holden Spaht – three partners of private equity firm Thoma Bravo, who are worth an estimated $3.3 billion apiece; investor Rajiv Jain , who made a gutsy gamble on Adani Group in March; early Berkshire Hathaway backer Stewart Horejsi ; and insurance magnate J. Hyatt Brown .
Others found their fortunes elsewhere. William Goldring got rich from alcohol; his Sazerac Company owns the Buffalo Trace Distillery and produces Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. Power couple Eren Ozmen and Fatih Ozmen made their money in aerospace. There are now two Forbes 400 members in Mississippi: James and Thomas Duff , who co-own tire retailer Southern Tire Mart and own several other businesses through their Duff Capital Investors holding company.
