No billionaire has had a better year than Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Bezos is the biggest dollar gainer on the 2017 World’s Billionaires List, in a year when 56 percentage of billionaires saw their fortunes increase. Bezos' net worth jumped by 27.6 billion in the past year more than the total net worth of all but the 24 richest billionaires. Amazon stock climbed 67 percentage in the past year in part because of the success of its cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services. With a net worth of 72.8 billion, Bezos is now the third richest billionaire in the world, behind Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett. Last year, Bezos cracked the ranks of the top 10 richest billionaires in the world for the first time, ranking fifth on Forbes 2016 World’s Billionaires List. Now he is two spots higher in the ranks and nearly 30 billion richer. A decade ago, on the 2007 Billionaires List, he had a net worth of 4.4 billion. | ||
A coalition of members of Congress announced | ||
Wednesday that they plan to sue the Census Bureau in an effort to | ||
force the agency to delete illegal aliens from its count in 1990. | ||
Some 40 members of the House joined the Federation for American | ||
Immigration Reform in announcing that the suit would be filed | ||
Thursday in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, spokesmen said at a | ||
news conference here. | ||
The group contends that including the estimated 2 million or | ||
more illegal aliens in the national head count, which is used to | ||
distribute seats in the House of Representatives, will cause unfair | ||
shifts of seats from one state to another. | ||
Census officials say they are required to count everyone by the | ||
U.S. Constitution, which does not mention citizenship but only | ||
instructs that the House apportionment be based on the ``whole | ||
number of persons'' residing in the various states. That approach | ||
was upheld by a federal court in a similar suit, brought by the | ||
same immigration reform group, before the 1980 Census. | ||
Nonetheless, Dan Stein of the immigration reform federation | ||
contended that illegal aliens should not be allowed to be part of | ||
determining the political structure of the United States. | ||
Rep. Tom Ridge, R-Pa., said the Census Bureau should actually | ||
count everyone but that it should develop a method to determine how | ||
many people are illegally in the country, and them deduct that | ||
number from the figures used for reapportioning Congress. | ||
Rep. Jan Meyers, R-Kan., suggested including a question on the | ||
Census form asking whether respondents are U.S. citizerns. |
