3 McLean Neighbors On List of the Wealthiest Americans

Three McLean neighbors were among the 400 wealthiest men and women in the U.S. named Thursday by Forbes Magazine as the Forbes 400.

The price of admission to the Forbes 400: a net worth above $1 billion. Here are the neighbors by their ranking and net worth:

20. Forrest Mars, $13.8 billion. Yes this is Mars Inc., the candy company that is headquartered on Elm Street in downtown McLean. Their address is a bland office building with a locked door.

Forbes listed Big Horn, Wyo., as the address for Forrest Mars, but he also has a McLean address.

139. William Conway, $2.7 billion. Co-founder and managing director of The Carlyle Group. Yes that Carlyle Group. One of the largest private equity firms in the world. Leveraged buyouts.

331. Steve Case, $1.3 billion. An AOL founder.

New York City had the largest number of the megarich, according to The New York Times. In the five boroughs, 53 people made the list. The next closest city was Dallas, with 17, the Times said.

"Only California had more megawealthy types, 88," the Times reported.
