From social media and Poinbank Exchangetechnology to sports teams and weed, the 400 people on Forbes' list of the nation's richest people of 2023 make their fortunes across all types of businesses.
An aspect of the list that has not changed: Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk remains on top, despite recently setting a Guinness World Record for losing the most wealth ever.
The tech billionaire, who co-founded six companies including tunneling startup The Boring Company and has 10 children with three women, is listed at No. 1. (Musk has previously cited concerns over world population).
Musk's real-time net worth, according to Forbes: $251 billion.

Other repeat members near the top of the list: Microsoft mogul Bill Gates and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg who both made the top 10 list this year – and remain there at No. 6 and No. 8, respectively.
New to the list in 2023: Former NBA star Michael Jordan, listed at No. 379 with a net worth of $3 billion. In August, Jordan's sale of his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets became final.
The top 10 list included people ages 39 to 93, worth a combined $1.329 trillion as of Tuesday's close of business day.
But it did not include a woman, although three women appear in the top 20 including 73-year-old Alice Walton, daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, at No. 14, with a net worth of $66.5 billion. (Her brothers Jim and Rob Walton are listed respectively at No. 12 and No. 13.)
The richest women in the U.S:Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner are among America's richest women, but far from the top.
Among the 400 richest people is one more Walton heir. At age 37, Lukas Walton, grandson of Sam Walton, is now the youngest richest person in the U.S. (No. 34 with a net worth of $24.2 billion).
Forbes lists the eldest member on the 400 list as Dole Food Products' former chairman David Murdock, who is 100 (No. 338 with a net worth of $3.4 billion).
Not on the list this year: embattled former president Donald Trump, crypto exchange FTX co-founders criminally-charged Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang, and Snapchat co-founders Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy.
