Dwayne Johnson tops yet again on Forbes highest-paid male actors list

<p>Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates once again topped the Forbes magazine list of the world&#39;s richest billionaires, while US President Donald Trump slipped more than 200 spots, the magazine said Monday.</p>

<p>Gates, whose wealth is estimated at $86 billion, led the list for the fourth straight year.</p>

<p>He was followed by Berkshire Hathaway chief Warren Buffett among the top 10 billionaires, a group heavily dominated by Americans, many of whom work in the technology sector. Buffett`s wealth was estimated at $75.6 billion.</p>

<p>Others in the top 10 included Amazon founder Jeff Bezos at number three, Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg at number five and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellision at number seven.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The global billionaire population jumped 13 per cent from last year to 2,043, the biggest annual increase in the 31 years since the magazine began compiling the list, Forbes said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US led&nbsp;the countries with the most billionaires with 565, a product of the swelling value of the American stock market since Trump`s November 2016 election.</p>

<p>China was second with 319 billionaires, and Germany was third with 114.</p>

<p>Trump himself slipped 220 spots on the list to number 544 with an estimated $3.5 billion. Forbes attributed Trump`s drop to sluggishness in the Manhattan real estate market which is responsible for a disproportionate amount of his wealth.</p>
