It's that time of the year again when Forbes announces who are, according to their research, the top ten richest people in the world.

The list features 1,810 billionaires whose combined worth is nearly $6.5 trillion.

You won't be surprised to hear that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was the world's biggest earner last year, growing his wealth by more than $11 billion. But was it enough to see him reach top spot?

For people wondering who the hell some of these billionaires are, Amancio Ortega is the founding chairman of the Inditex fashion group, Warren Buffett is the most successful investor in the world and Carlos Slim Helu is a Mexican business magnate and investor.

The Koch brothers own the biggest privately-owned company in the United States, Koch Industries, and Larry Ellison is an internet entrepreneur.
