Forbes has released its 2026 World's Billionaires list, featuring a record 3,428 entrepreneurs, investors and heirs worth a total of $20.1 trillion. The list includes three individuals and families with ties to the Pittsburgh area, whose combined net worth exceeds $15.1 billion.

Why it matters

The inclusion of Pittsburgh-area billionaires on the Forbes list highlights the region's growing economic influence and the wealth being generated by local businesses and entrepreneurs. It also reflects the broader trend of rising global wealth and the concentration of that wealth among a small number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

The details

The three Pittsburgh-area billionaires on the Forbes list are Edward Stack and family of Dick's Sporting Goods ($5.4 billion), Thomas Tull, founder of Legendary Entertainment and minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Yankees ($5.4 billion), and Maggie Hardy, owner and CEO of 84 Lumber and Nemacolin ($4.3 billion). Other notable Pittsburgh natives on the list include David Tepper, owner of the Carolina Panthers ($23.7 billion), and Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks ($6 billion), though they no longer reside in Pennsylvania.
