Forbes just released its 2026 list of America's wealthiest people, and the Greenwich number is the one worth sitting with: six of the state's seven Forbes 400 billionaires live right here in town, worth a combined $78 billion.
That's the combined estimated net worth of the six Greenwich residents who made the 2026 Forbes 400, the annual ranking of America's wealthiest people.
Here's the number that stopped me: $78 billion. That's the combined estimated net worth of the six Greenwich residents who made the 2026 Forbes 400, the annual ranking of America's wealthiest people.
Steve Cohen, the hedge fund manager behind Point72 Asset Management, tops the group at $26.7 billion.
Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, follows at $18.9 billion.
Brad Jacobs, the entrepreneur behind ventures including XPO and QXO, comes in at $13.3 billion.
Clifford Asness, co-founder of the quant fund AQR Capital Management, is worth an estimated $8 billion.
Stephen Mandel Jr., founder of the hedge fund Lone Pine Capital, is worth $5.7 billion.
Ratmir Timashev, co-founder of the software company Veeam, rounds out the group at $5.4 billion.
And here's the Greenwich part worth sitting with: of the seven Connecticut residents on this year's list, six live in Greenwich — a concentration of Forbes 400 wealth that few towns this size anywhere in the country can claim.
For perspective, Forbes says it now takes a record $4.4 billion just to make the Forbes 400 this year, with the full list worth a combined $8 trillion — which makes it all the more striking that our town accounts for six of Connecticut's seven names on it.
