I am so rich that the Excel they used could not hold the number and it overflowed thus pushing me out of the list.

For the first time, the richest 400 tycoons in the US all have a personal wealth of at least $1bn (£526m), Forbes magazine has reported.

Microsoft boss Bill Gates kept top spot for a 13th consecutive year with investment guru-turned-philanthropist Warren Buffett in second place.

Casino and hotel owner Sheldon Adelson has leapt from 15th to third ranking.

The rich list as a whole is worth $1.25 trillion, compared with $1.13 trillion a year ago, Forbes said.

Four of the top ten came from the Wal-Mart owning Walton family.

Mr Adelson's surge in fortune comes largely from a decision to open a casino in Macau, an island off south-eastern China renowned for its gambling.

Forbes estimates that Mr Adelson has been earning about $1m an hour for the past two years.
