Where Does Montana's Richest Billionaire Rank In The United States?

The billionaire class in America continues to grow more and more each year.

In 2024, 101 new Americans joined the list of those who can claim billionaire status. Compare that to 2023, when only 53 joined the list, and we see the wealth gap getting bigger each year.

Who Is Montana's Richest Man?

Montana only has 4 billionaires, and the richest one is Dennis Washington.

We've highlighted his wealth before and showed you just how rich he really is.

His net worth as of 2025 stands at 7.4 billion, according to Forbes.

That's quite a bit of money, more than most Montanans will ever earn in their entire lifetime of work.

How Many Billionaires Are in America?

As of 2025, there are 835 billionaires in America, an 11% increase from the previous year, even with 20 people dropping below billionaire status in 2024.

Earlier we mentioned Montana is home to only 4 billionaires, but 62% of all billionaires live in just 4 states: California (186), New York (135), Florida (78), and Texas (73).

Who Is The Richest Person In Each State?

While Dennis Washington is Montana's richest person, there are a few well-known billionaires that aren't their state's richest.

Billionaires like Steve Ballmer (former Microsoft CEO/current Owner of the Los Angeles Clippers) and Larry Page (former Google CEO) are some of the richest people on Earth.

They just happen to live in the same state as some of the other richest people on Earth.
