Some of the people inherited their wealth and then built on it, while others utilized what their homes have to offer to create their wealth. For example, the richest person in Nevada is Sheldon Adelson, with a net worth of 35.6 billion. He is a self-made billionaire by starting and running casinos. Harry Stein in Iowa has a net worth of $3.3 billion, self-made through agriculture. Other names are a bit more recognizable, like California’s Mark Zuckerberg ($62.4 billion) and New York’s Michael Bloomberg ($50.7 billion).
