Forbes: Here’s The Richest Resident In Georgia

Forbes analyzed the fortunes of the country’s richest people to identify each state’s wealthiest person. This is the magazine’s fifth edition of the list.

Georgia's richest resident is Jim Kennedy, the current chairman of Cox Enterprises, who is worth $9.2 billion, according to Forbes. Cox is a media conglomerate founded by his grandfather, James M. Cox.

The net worth of the individuals on the list varies. For example, Washington is home to the world’s two richest and most recognizable billionaires; Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, but in certain states, the richest people only had a nine-figure net worth, Forbes writes.

Georgia is home to 13 billionaires, according to Forbes' 33rd annual ranking of the world's billionaires released back in March.
