The same person who has been for the past three years - Carlos Slim!

Meanwhile, Microsoft's Bill Gates came in second place with $61 billion, while Warren Buffet had the third spot with $44 billion!

Other notable money bags this year include the youngest billionaire to make the list, 'Spanx' founder Sarah Blakely, Facebook's Mark Zuckberg in the 35 spot with a net worth of $17.5 billion, and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling dropping off the list as she's fallen below the $1 billion mark, due to Britain's high taxes, and her donation of $150 million to charity!

Wow! So selfless!

Can't fault her for that!

Way to go, Sharon Stone!

Miss Stone has found quite the catch in multi-millionaire tennis equipment tycoon Johan Eliasch.

Not only is the man worth £250 million, but it looks like Sharon is genuinely enamored with the guy:

"Our relationship is so new, but we feel great respect and admiration for one another — two things that are the foundation of possible love."

Uh oh! Sharon SORT OF dropped an L-Bomb! Shiz is getting serious!

Before we know it, they'll be referring to each other as "my love" or "mon amour" or "LOML" when texting each other. Ha!

We hope it works out, Sharon! We're happy for you!
