        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos topped <strong>Forbes’ list of richest Americans</strong> for the third year in a row, while President Trump’s ranking dropped as the coronavirus pandemic slammed his office buildings, hotels and resorts, the magazine said Tuesday.</p><p>The aggregate wealth of the Forbes 400 list rose to a record $3.2 trillion, as the richest Americans continued to do well even though the pandemic has devastated the economy and caused more than 1.8 million Americans to lose their jobs. Bezos’ fortune of $179 billion, as of July 24, is up 57 percent from last year.</p><p>Eric Yuan, chief executive officer of Zoom Video Communications, which has become ubiquitous in the work-from-home era, was one of 18 newcomers on the list with a net worth of $11 billion.</p><p>Trump’s ranking dropped to No. 352 from 275 last year as his net worth fell to $2.5 billion from $3.1 billion, as office buildings, hotels and resorts, have suffered during the pandemic. His business, the Trump Organization, owns property in all three categories.</p><p>Trump has <strong>long refused</strong> to release his tax records, and <strong>has been locked</strong> in a battle with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, <strong>who subpoenaed Trump</strong> for eight years of personal and corporate returns.</p><p>The annual list can serve as a way to track the wealthiest people in the country who hold the most power, said Kerry Dolan, assistant managing editor of wealth at Forbes, in an interview with Reuters TV.</p><p>“As a society, we all should know who is behind the biggest companies and what they’re doing with their money,” she said.</p>]]></content:encoded>
