It has been a year of reclamation for America's richest. The total net worth of the Forbes 400 is up 8%, to $1.37 trillion, well out
gaining the 1% rise in the S&P 500 Index ($INX) over the past 12 months. More than half (217) are richer than they were a year ago.

The headline numbers tell only part of the story. About 45% of the 400 failed to add to their fortunes or lost ground. And the record of $1.57 trillion in total net worth, set in 2008, still stands.

The very top of the list gained, with good friends Bill Gates and Warren Buffett up $4 billion and $5 billion, respectively. They are short of their personal highs, though.
