For the fourth year in a row, Forbes has scoured the country from sea to shining sea to find the richest person in every single state. Bezos now easily outranks Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, who qualified as Washington's richest last year with a net worth of $88.9 billion. Digital trading pioneer Thomas Peterffy also had a blockbuster year and solidified his position as the richest person in Florida. In some states, there is little competition when it comes to wearing the crown of the state's richest person. For more on the richest person in those states, see here.
