Donald’s net worth was $5.9 billion in Sept. 2011, Forbes estimates, and Si’s was $6.6 billion.
New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, who unsuccessfully sought to buy the Advance-owned Times-Picayune, is No. 360, with a net worth of $1.2 billion. Advance recently cited financial challenges as the motivation for cutting staff and days in print at the Times-Picayune.
