- 14 people have made at least $10 billion in 2017 so far, according to Bloomberg.
- There are only 5 Americans on the list, and all but one are men.

According to a new UBS/Pricewaterhousecoopers report, the world's billionaires have seen their net worths climb by more than $900 billion in the past year, collectively topping a mind-boggling $6 trillion.
Thanks to Bloomberg's billionaires index, we can see the individuals benefitting most from this surge. There are 14 on Bloomberg's list who have already made more than $10 billion through October (and, of course, the year is not over).
Combined, these billionaires have seen their net worths climb $224.5 billion this year so far.
The demographics of the list are fairly uniform (all but one, Chinese heiress Yang Huiyan, are men) — but there are only five Americans, representing just four companies (albeit giant ones).
