One of the funny takeaways here is: there are so many more billionaires out there, who spend considerable effort to remain off these lists and otherwise anonymous. I work with one, and he's not on ANY of the Forbes or Bloomberg lists, though articles about his projects and investments obviously make the news. That's, as the article alludes to, the funny thing about private equity: it does a very good job _staying_ private.

Does the IRS know?

  The IRS doesn’t track assets, so unlikely. They don’t really even know how wealthy small business owners are

    but they track assets of common people especially overseas like FATCA

      Not common people in the US. FATCA is really the only exemption and that’s quite uncommon.

And then there are those who try very hard to get on the list. I know at least one famous one.
