Forbes has published its 40th annual World's Billionaires List, featuring several wealthy and notable figures associated with the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Among them are Bill Gates, ranked 19th globally with a net worth of $108 billion, who acknowledged traveling on Epstein's private aircraft and having affairs with two Russian women.
Other billionaires with alleged ties to Epstein include Richard Branson, Leon Black, Les Wexner, Reid Hoffman, Glenn Dubin, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Sergey Brin, and Tom Pritzker.
These individuals have faced public backlash and some have issued apologies or stepped down from their positions following the release of Epstein files.
