The former president ranked 339 in 2020, the final year he made the list.

Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos ranked first with $201 billion. Bezos was followed by Tesla founder Elon Musk with $ 190.5 billion, with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg third at $ 134.5 billion.
The ranking may have dropped Trump, but his influence certainly has not weakened among Americans. Many continue to hope he runs for president again in 2024 in a comeback bide for the White House.
