Forbes Israel's just released their list of the country's 100 richest people.

Like the previous two years, all of this year's members are billionaires. However, this is the first time that the combined wealth of everyone on the list stretches into the trillions.

The top ten on the list is still dominated by known names form the industry and finance sectors, but it is possible to see from year to year how the technology giants and young start-ups are showered with money. Some are more veteran on the list, such as CheckPoint's founders, and some are relatively new, such as Teddy Sagi and Wework founder Adam Neumann.

After being ousted last year by shipping tycoon Eyal Ofer, Patrick Drahi is again the richest man in Israel. Drei's fortune now stands at NIS 49 billion ($13.9 billion), much of it from his controlling stake in the Netherlands-based telecom group Altice.
