Meet Connecticut's Richest Person

Forbes analyzed the fortunes of the country’s richest people to identify each state’s wealthiest person. This is the magazine's fifth edition of the list.

Connecticut's richest resident is Ray Dalio, 69, who is worth $18.4 billion, according to the magazine.

Forbes identifies Dalio as the founder of the world's largest hedge fund firm: Bridgewater Associates, which manages $160 billion in assets.

The net worth of the individuals on the list varies. For example, Washington is home to the world’s two richest and most recognizable billionaires; Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, but in certain states, the richest people only had a nine-figure net worth, Forbes writes.
