The new Forbes roundup of world billionaires is out, and the interns had an easier time of it this round: Just 793 filthy-rich folks to track, compared to 1,125 a year ago.

If you’re looking for poetic justice, you may enjoy the fact that former AIG head and Big Shitpile Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg lost about 95 percent of his $1.9 billion fortune. If you prefer spit-takes, that still leaves him with $100 million.
