The 400 richest Americans added $4.5tn to their wealth last year, a 40% rise.
Amazon's, Jeff Bezos, retained the top spot for a fourth consecutive year with a net worth of $201bn, followed by Elon Musk of Tesla and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, with net worths of $190.5bn and $134.5bn respectively.
To make the list, people now have to have a minimum net worth of $2.9bn, up $800m from a year ago.
Stock markets and property prices have continued to soar, trends that have disproportionately added to the wealth of the richest.
