I was looking through my brother’s Forbes Magazine today, and in it was their yearly count of all the Billionaires. I found the section about the United States, and noticed they had the state they are from/or live in currently. I found out that 18 of the 403 Billionaires in the US are from the state of Illinois. Also, I found some guys that have athletic connections in there too. So below I will have a list of all the billionaires who are from the state of Illinois and another list of sports Billionaires.
