One hundred years ago, the richest person in California likely would have been a railroad baron. After all, the richest person in Minnesota, Glen Taylor, has a printing firm to thank for his billions, and Warren Buffett, the richest in Nebraska, is an investor extraordinaire. Forbes just published our list of the Richest Person In Every State, a group of 53 people (due to ties) whose combined net worth is $832 billion. While only four list members hail from the tech sector, they are some of the richest on the list. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, worth $132 billion, unseated Bill Gates as the wealthiest in the state of Washington.
