Minnesota Billionaires: Glen Taylor​, Stanley Hubbard​, 4 Others Make The List

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Forbes’ list of the wealthiest of the wealthy residents is out, and six Minnesotans made the list.

Familiar names like Hubbard Broadcasting founder Stanley Hubbard and current Timberwolves and Minneapolis Star Tribune owner Glen Taylor appear on this year's rankings, as well as several executives from Twin Cities-based Cargill.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates again topped the list for the fourth year in a row with a fortune of $86 billion, up from $75 billion last year, the magazine said.

“It was a record year for the richest people on Earth, as the number of billionaires jumped 13 percent to 2,043 from 1,810 last year, the first time ever that Forbes has pinned down more than 2,000 ten-figure-fortunes,” Forbes said. “Their total net worth rose by 18% to $7.67 trillion, also a record. The change in the number of billionaires — up 233 since the 2016 list — was the biggest in the 31 years that Forbes has been tracking billionaires globally.”
