As time winds down on how long lawmakers have to reach a deal to raise the debt ceiling to avoid the U.S. defaulting on its debt, the Treasury Department’s cash balance has been dropping. As the Treasury’s cash balance drops, an increasing number of individuals in the United States and other countries throughout the world are worth more than what the government has. The Bloomberg Billionaire Index, which issues a daily ranking of the world’s wealthiest people based on net worth, lists 24 individuals as having a higher net worth than the amount of money that the Treasury currently has. The New York Times noted that Michael Bloomberg — the founder of the outlet — is left off the list under its editorial policy, but Forbes lists his net worth as about $94.5 billion. Below are the billionaires with more money than the Treasury currently.
