Forbes lists Utah's eight richest people

• There are 902 in the U.S., including the four richest people in the world — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Larry Ellison.

Up top: Gail Miller, who owns the Larry H. Miller Co., remains Utah's wealthiest person with an estimated worth of $4.4 billion — up from last year's estimate of $3.9B.

• Yes, but: Her ranking fell from the 809th richest human to No. 823.
• Catch up quick: The Miller family bought a single Toyota dealership in 1979 and grew it into the nation's second-largest privately owned auto dealership before Gail Miller sold the business in 2021 for $3.2 billion. She also used to own the Jazz.

Hot on her heels: Cloudflare founder Matthew Prince leapt to No. 868 from 949 last year, with a $4.2B estimated net worth — up from $3.4B in 2024.

• Prince last made news with a zoning fight over his planned mansion above Park City's old town.
• The project stalled out last year, but new legislation last month could pave the way for the house after all, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Ryan Smith: Qualtrics founder and owner of the Jazz and the Utah Hockey Club jumped to No. 1,408 from 1,496 last year, with an estimated worth of $2.6B, up from $2.2B last year.

• His brother Jared ($1.4B) and father Scott ($1.2B) are the next two Utahns on the list, at No. 2,356 and 2,623, respectively.

• Follow the money: Smith will receive up to $900 million from SLC taxpayers to renovate the Delta Center and develop a downtown entertainment district.
• The latest: Smith announced last week he had formed a $1B venture capital fund.

A mere $1 billion: Three Utah men tied for "last" place, with $1B each.

• Scott Watterson cofounded iFIT in Logan. He stepped down as CEO in 2022 but is still chairman.
• Mark Hancock and Jason Murray cofounded the PACS Group, which operates nursing facilities. They are new to the billionaire list this year.
