(Chicago, IL) – Illinois billionaires are harder to come by. At least that’s what it looks like on the list of the country’s 400 wealthiest Americans. Only 14 Illinoisans are on the elite list, three fewer than last year, after Groupon founder Eric Lefkofsky dropped below the one-point-seven-billion-dollar minimum and food and beverage moguls J. Christopher and Jude Reyes moved to Florida. Hedge fund founder Ken Griffin remains the state’s wealthiest man with a net worth of seven-billion-dollars, 69th on the Forbes 400. Bill Gates is on the top of the heap with a fortune of 76-billion-dollars.
