There are only nine names in the top 10.
He is listed 14th in his article, why so high here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.187.151.99 ( talk) 21:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
Forbes publishes many lists, not just American and world's richest people. It also covers celebrities, companies, and families, to name a few. This article is not the place to try to mention all those other lists. Here are a few examples:

I've removed italics ("Forbes 400", not "Forbes 400" or "Forbes 400") except where "Forbes" clearly refers to the magazine and not to the list itself. If anyone changes it back, please explain your reasoning in doing so here.
We don't italicize "Fortune 500" even though Fortune is also a magazine just as Forbes is. Also, observe that Forbes itself, on its website, doesn't italicize "Forbes 400". Use of italics with "Forbes 400" was inconsistent within the text of the article; indeed, the majority of occurrences of the name within the text were not italicized. I've made it consistently non-italicized throughout.
