Forbes has recently released their richest people list for the year, so what better time to pick some imaginary boyfriends and dream about what could be with one of their eligible bachelors. Luxury superyachts, diamonds, and designer sports cars are just some of the perks you\u2019ll get from dating one of the top 10 richest people, so start dreaming!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We can always look to Forbes to see who\u2019s topping the list of the richest people on earth. We\u2019ve heard Kylie Jenner getting close to being one of the first self-made billionaires, Mark Zuckerberg representing for the younger crowd with his social media empire, but what about those eligible bachelors who are cashed up?<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the stats, a sad amount of billionaires are single, only 3% to be exact. But that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t have hope that things could turn out for us one day. Sure, it helps to be an heiress or swimsuit model, but even if you\u2019re no one of those things it doesn\u2019t rule you out completely.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been a little lost looking for love lately, what better place to look than the Forbes list of Most Eligible Billionaire Bachelors? We\u2019re here to tell you who made the cut and what exactly made them so wealthy, so you can start fantasizing your diamond studded nuptials with your new fancy billionaire.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#10: Jack Dorsey<\/b><\/p>\n

Of course, we are bound to see some tech moguls on the list, so what better place to start than with Twitter CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey. At just 41 years of age, the computer programmer and entrepreneur is worth a cool $5 billion, going by Forbes\u2019 latest figures. He is completely self-made which means you know he\u2019ll be a hard worker, so he definitely has that going for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jack Dorsey has been rumored to be dating various people over the years, most recently model Lily Cole, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s off the market completely. One cool thing about him? His Twitter handle is quite simple @jack, which we guess is easy to do when you\u2019re the CEO of the company and call all the shots.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#9: Xavier Niel<\/b><\/p>\n

For those looking for a foreign man with a lot of class, French businessman Xavier Niel might be the one for you. Although he\u2019s reportedly dating the gorgeous vice president of Louis Vuitton, Delphine Arnault, nothing is official until the wedding so he still made our richest bachelor list. Xavier Neil is worth an estimated $6.1billion which is certainly nothing to sneeze at.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neil started his career in telecommunications and that\u2019s where he made most of his fortune. He\u2019s created and owned internet service providers as well as a range of other endeavors that have helped him easily amass his fortune. He\u2019s done some amazing things like creating a free school for budding tech students, and plenty of other philanthropy work.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#8: Scott Duncan<\/b><\/p>\n

There are some billionaires that didn\u2019t really make their money on their own but rather inherited it, and that\u2019s more than okay with us! Scott Duncan is one such man, and he\u2019s the heir to the Duncan family fortune who own Enterprise Products which deals in oil and gas, hence the huge fortune he has.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scott Duncan is notoriously mysterious so there\u2019s no chance of getting papped when you\u2019re out and about with him. He\u2019s only 35 years of age which makes him one of the younger entrants on his list and therefore more appealing to the younger crowd. His net worth currently sits at about $5.8 billion and only continues to grow. Not too bad for someone who didn\u2019t have to start the business for himself. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#7: Tor Peterson<\/b><\/p>\n

Another super mysterious billionaire to be added to our list is Tor Peterson, and although you might not recognize his name he\u2019s certainly got some fortune to boast about. According to Forbes, Tor is the only American among the five billionaires belonging to Glencore, the commodities trading powerhouse run by the Swiss Bank. He currently leads their marketing operations for coal, so you can see why he\u2019s kind of a key player.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tor Peterson is single, as far as anyone knows, but it might be hard to find a picture of him online. He\u2019s 53 years old and worth a reported $2.1 billion which makes him the 1,157<\/span>th<\/span> richest person on earth. Those are figures that we\u2019d certainly be happy to share someday.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#6: Richard Li<\/b><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re looking for someone with serious family connections, you may as well head to the guy whose father is considered the richest man in Asia. That\u2019s what Richard Li can claim, and he has the money to back it up, with a net worth of $4.4billion all to himself. Although, Li didn\u2019t get all of his money simple inherited as he made a lot himself, which makes him even more attractive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Richard Li\u2019s most notable business move was buying the StarTV network for $125million and then selling it to Rupert Murdoch years later for $950million. He\u2019s 51 years old, so possibly a little older for the younger women, although that never really stood in the way of money or love before.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#5: Nicholas Berggruen<\/b><\/p>\n

Nicholas Berggruen is a dual citizen of both Germany and the US and is the founder and current president of Beggruen Holdings. His company is involved with investments and philanthropy so he\u2019s one of those good sorts who likes to put his money and fame to a good use. You\u2019ll probably attend many galas and black tie benefits if you\u2019re the lucky one to end up with him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicholas comes with some extra baggage though, namely two children, but don\u2019t let that stand in the way of becoming the partner of a billionaire. His current net worth is $1.76billion which doesn\u2019t sound as much compared to others on the list until you really think about it and realize just how impressive it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#4: Albert Von Thurn and Taxis <\/b><\/p>\n

You better start practicing his name because it\u2019s a bit of a mouthful, but with a wealth that earned him a place on Forbes\u2019 rich list at just 8 years old, we think it\u2019s worth it. Albert is the 12<\/span>th<\/span> Prince of Thurn and Taxis, which is a German noble family. If you\u2019re lucky enough to get shacked up with him you\u2019ll presumably be royalty as well, which is a nice little bonus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Albert\u2019s current net worth is around $1.5billiion which doesn\u2019t show any signs of slowing down. He has a keen interest in motorsports so would definitely suit the younger crowd looking for a new husband and is a very young 35 to be on our list. He\u2019s had a pretty steady place on Forbes\u2019 list for almost 30 years, so you can be guaranteed that he\u2019s not going to go anywhere soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#3: Yoshikazu Tanaka<\/b><\/p>\n

He\u2019s often considered the Japanese Mark Zuckerberg and has made a huge fortune through gaming and social media. Yoshikazu is worth an estimated $1.27biliion which is nothing to sneeze at, and he would definitely suit the gamer type who loves to get into classics like Space Quest. <\/span><\/p>\n

When he was just 26 he started developing GREE, the social media network that has earned him his money, so it didn\u2019t take too long to get rich. When it was first listed on the stock exchange, Tanaka was just 33 which made him the youngest founder whose company was on the TSE first section.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#2: Teddy Sagi<\/b><\/p>\n

This is another bachelor with a rumored partner but no official ring, so he can stay put on our list. Teddy Sagi is an Israeli-Cypriot businessman reportedly dating former Miss Israel Yael Nizro, but we won\u2019t let that little fact get us down. <\/span><\/p>\n

Teddy is worth a reported $3.3billion and he made most of his money building the gambling software Playtech. He also owns London\u2019s Camden Market, just to give you an idea of his wealth. Teddy has a bit of shady past and actually did time in jail during the mid 90\u2019s for bribery and insider trading, but we\u2019re sure you can overlook that.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#1: Stelios Haji-Ioannou<\/b><\/p>\n

He might not be the most handsome man to make our rich list, but that doesn\u2019t make his wealth any less deserving. Stelios has amassed a huge $1.52billion fortune over the years which is nothing to sneeze at for a 51-year-old. <\/span><\/p>\n

The British Cypriot entrepreneur made most of his cash being the scion of a wealthy ship family and making smart investments and business decisions, like founding the low-cost airline easyJet. You can probably assume there\u2019ll be no budget airlines if you hook up with Stelios though, as we\u2019re assuming he\u2019s more of a private jet kind of guy.<\/span><\/p>\n
