Forbes just released their list of the 400 richest people in America for 2024. Nobody from Minnesota made the list, with the ranking made from data as of September.

However, Wisconsin made up for this fact, coming in hot with seven people on the list, some even ranking in the top fifty.

Of course, Elon Musk ranked number one with a net worth of $244 billion dollars. No big deal or anything.

That would be John Menard, Jr. (far right), with a net worth of $22.9 billion. He is the man responsible for the store we know and love as Menards, raking in billions a year across the country.
