The United States still leads the world with its billionaire tally, far outpacing its closest competitor China with a whopping 333 more billionaires.

Despite the economic headwinds, the U.S. minted 25 new billionaires in the past year — a 5.5 percent increase from the previous year. Their combined wealth also grew nearly 8 percent from the previous year to $2.05 trillion. American billionaires account for less than 1 percent of the ultra-rich population, but control nearly a quarter of the group’s total fortune of $8.28 trillion. On average, these billionaires are worth $4.3 billion each. The country’s ultra-rich saw a more than 3 percent increase in wealth, while the group’s population grew by nearly 4 percent, compared to last year — outpacing U.S. GDP growth.
