The richest person in every U.S. state, by industry

Nick DeSantis, www.forbes.com

Richest In State list, Frank VanderSloot of Idaho. VanderSloot built his $1.9 billion fortune from his retailer Melaleuca, which sells vitamins, supplements, and eco-friendly cleaning products. VanderSloot is one of 8 retail billionaires on the list this year.

Other state-topping retail billionaires include Wal-Mart heirs Alice Walton (Texas) and Jim Walton (Arkansas) whose fortunes have continued to grow in the last year. Alice’s net worth is up $4.9 billion to $33.3 billion, and Jim is up $4 billion to $34.5 billion. Wisconsin’s richest, Menards founder John Menard Jr., is up $300 million to $10.6 billion. And even though Nike founder Phil Knight’s net worth stayed flat at $25.1 billion over the last year, he still managed to hold onto his title of richest person in Oregon.

The four billionaires from California, Hawaii, North Carolina and Washington who hail from the tech sector have a combined net worth of $170.3 billion. This includes Washington’s (and the world’s) richest person Bill Gates, who has a $88.9 billion net worth, and California’s richest, Mark Zuckerberg, who’s worth $62.4 billion.

Wealth built by list members in finance comes in second. Including the Oracle of Omaha himself, Warren Buffett, with a net worth of $76.2 billion, those 8 billionaires have a combined net worth of $139.1 billion.

A smaller number of people have made their fortunes in real estate. Maryland’s richest, real estate developer Ted Lerner, has a net worth of $5.8 billion.

]]> Around 700 BCE, the first Himalayan civilizations appeared. The Tibetan Empire would dominate the region during much of the Middle Ages, preceding an era of fragmented kingdoms until the arrival of Mongols from the north. After many centuries of further division, Nepal would unite, whilst Tibet fell to China; today’s situation remains similar. The video below will show every year of this process.

]]> Syria’s electricity infrastructure has been destroyed by six years of war.  Images from NASA show precisely how the lights have gone out during the course of the war, leaving people to survive with little to no power.

These images reveal how the lights have gone out in Aleppo, Syria’s 2nd city over five years.

Images below are drawn from a global composite that was made by selecting the best cloud-free nights each month over each landmass on Earth. The data come from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NASA-NOAA Suomi NPP satellite. VIIRS includes a particular “day/night band,” a low-light sensor that makes quantitative estimations of light emissions and reflections, allowing researchers to detect the intensity, types, and sources of night lights and to see how they change over several years.

A lot of the areas in Syria already have been rebuilt or are getting repaired right now (Kurdish regions), so the 2019 map may look different.
