Who is really the richest (money wise) person in the world?

I know most will say Jeff Bezos with a recently much reduced 116 billion. Yet personal monitory wealth is very much deceptive.

A smaller minority will say its the Rothchild family with its 2 trillion dollar wealth. And they also could be correct, because of who holds various proxies, head of estates and even guardianships.

Yet even that is misleading because who controls what in the corporate world.

Below I am giving some estimate worths. They are only approximates. Yet some of this could give a better picture of just who controls what and possibly who really is the richest.

Note of warning some of this may be surprising if not disturbing.
