Bloomberg News has released the first of what it says will be a daily updated list of the world's 20 richest people. One thing that struck me is that for all the talk of how the economy has become excessively skewed toward financial services, there doesn't seem to be a single banker or hedge fund manager on the list. The closest is probably Warren Buffett, who owns insurance and reinsurance companies and a lot of bank stocks, and who operates a kind of financial holding company, but whose company also owns and manages a lot of businesses like See's Candies and Dairy Queen.
