The five richest Europeans – one German is there. Forbes estimates his fortune at a whopping 195 billion euros, making him the richest man in Europe.

The best way to toast this is a glass of Moët champagne, because he also owns Moet & Chandon and Louis Vuitton. This year the frontrunner with a fortune of more than 241 billion US dollars is Tesla boss Elon Musk. Also on the list are Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, investor legend Warren Buffett and former Amazon boss Jeff Bezos.
