2013 Billionaires: Notables Newcomers And Latest Addition To The Billionaires List.

2013's Notable Newcomers:

This year 210 people have joined the Forbes billionaires ranks. From fashion icon Tory Burch to California video camera-maker Nicholas Woodman to Chobani yogurt tycoon Hamdi Ulukaya, find out here how they've made their billions.



Amongst the 210 people from 42 countries that joined the Forbes Billionaires ranks,  the most notable is fashion icon Tory Burch, whose $200 ballet flats and preppy women’s wear brand have launched her–as well as ex-husband Chris Burch–to billionaire status. Burch, 46, is the second youngest self-made female billionaire in America, after Spanx inventor Sara Blakely, 42. In December, former company co-chair Chris Burch sold part of his 28.3% stake in Tory Burch LLC, valuing the entire company at well over $3 billion.

Also of note this year is GoPro’s 37-year-old Nicholas Woodman, who turned his passion for capturing outdoor adventures into a $2.25 billion company. Pro surfer Kelly Slater–as well as a slew of amateur sports enthusiasts–uses GoPro’s HD video camera to capture his adventures.

And then there’s Renzo Rosso, the 57-year-old founder of Diesel jeans. Rosso co-founded Diesel when he was 23, and has spent the last ten years acquiring stakes in European fashion houses: Paris-based Maison Martin Margiela, Amsterdam’s Viktor & Rolf, and this past December, Milanese label Marni. He also owns The Pelican, a trendy arty hotel in South Beach, and a winery in northern Italy near his home. He’s also invested in tech startups like Nonabox, a Birchbox for pregnant women. Renzo Rosso’s fashion empire had revenues of $2 billion in 2012.

Also worthy of note is:

Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana

Net worth: $2 billion each

Country: Italy

The Italian design duo, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, join the billionaires' list thanks to surging revenues at Dolce & Gabbana (just under $1.5 billion in 2011). The fashion house's flamboyant fashions (think animal prints and pink fur) have been a mainstay of both the catwalk and the party scene since the two men -- one-time romantic partners -- launched the company 28 years ago. Their brand continues to grow: 2012 saw the debut of their couture line.

Isabel dos Santos

Net worth: $2 billion

Country: Angola

The oldest daughter of Angola's longtime president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, Isabel dos Santos has stakes in several Angolan and Portuguese companies. She is Angola's first billionaire and the richest woman in Africa. Her most valuable asset -- worth, conservatively, $1 billion -- is a 25% stake in Unitel, one of Angola's two mobile phone networks, where she is a board member.
