Dozens of the world’s richest people got together at a party 
thrown by Forbes in downtown Manhattan on Tuesday night.

Among those joining him on stage were billionaires Hamdi Ulukaya,
the CEO of Chobani worth £1.3billion; Vegas tycoon Steve Wynn, 
CEO of Wynn Resorts, worth £2.3billion; international art dealer 
Larry Gagosian, worth £685million; and Sean Combs, 
aka ‘P Diddy’, who is worth £608million.  Warren Buffett, who is
worth around £58.2billion, was joined by a roll call of fellow
billionaires and millionaires to celebrate 100 years of the magazine.
Whether it inspires you or makes you want to roll out the guillotine,
it is pretty striking to see so many of the world’s richest on one
small stage.

They were at the event at Pier Sixty in New York City to celebrate
the business magazine’s 100th anniversary, as well as an annual
philanthropy summit that had been held earlier that day.

The two sang The Glory of Love, a hit first recorded by Benny 
Goodman in 1936.  Stevie Wonder was performing, with Buffett
joining him for a duet later in the evening.
Buffett then told the room he was optimistic about the future of
the US: ‘Whenever I hear people talk pessimistically about this
country, I think they’re out of their mind.’

Murdoch, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Paul McCartney and
Richard Branson – and Buffett is on the cover.
Buffett spearheaded the regeneration of his company Berkshire
Hathaway in 1965, turning it from a failing textile company into
a conglomerate with more than 90 businesses and more than
£74billion in stocks.
