Forbesjust completed its exhaustive list of the world's billionaires.
There are 1,153 people on The World's Billionaires list, and getting through them all is quite an undertaking (not to mention a little depressing).
So we've mined the list to find the people that matter to us, in this case it's just people who made their money in the private equity business. Forbes has them classified under private equity or leveraged buyouts (or in one case, beer).
Be jealous.
