Dell's Michael Dell, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates are among the tech billionaires backing venture firm Village Global's newest fund, Village Global III, which is a $250 million seed fund dedicated to backing early-stage founders. Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, has taken on the role of Chairman. The ranks of the wealthiest people on the planet, as of November 1, include nine Americans and a French luxury goods tycoon. The world's top ten richest individuals are worth nearly $50 billion less than a month ago, with the majority of the decline attributed to Elon Musk's net worth drop during October.
