Michael Bloomberg and the Koch brothers were included on the magazine’s list of the richest individuals in the nation.
Forbes magazine has released its Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans, with 70 New Yorkers making the cut.
Businessman David Koch ranks first in the city, tied for fifth overall with his brother Charles Koch.
Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, eighth overall on the list, was second on the list of New Yorkers, followed by George Soros and Carl Icahn.
The magazine also weighed in on Donald Trump’s infamous claims about his finances, ranking the billionaire developer and media personality at 121 and estimating his personal fortune to be $4.5 billion.
Forbes Editor Randall Lane spoke about Mr. Trump’s fortune on NBC’s Morning Joe, discounting the value of Mr. Trump’s “personal brand” that the Republican presidential hopeful has said accounts for several billions in wealth.
“We think we’ve finally settled the issue,” Mr. Lane said. “He’s out there telling everybody he’s worth $10 billion. He’s not.”
One notable exclusion from New York’s wealthiest is William Erbey, whose mortgage financier, Ocwen Financial, was probed by New York state investigators for allegations including conflicts of interest.
Mr. Erbey, who stepped down as executive chairman, saw his personal fortune plummet after Ocwen’s stock fell 76%, according to Forbes.
