Not Oprah. Probably all 1999 other known billionaires to a greater or lesser degree, though. Social mobility is rung-by-rung; you can do multiples in theory but you have to get really lucky that many times in a row.
This list is far from complete. The entirety of western royalty is missing for one thing.
That's a good point. Charlie III is so hereditary it's his whole brand. It looks like he might not actually have a billion, though, just most of one.
I'm not sure if any other European Royal families might have managed to retain more.
It's rung-by-rung, but the people in front of you are pulling it up behind them.
