Forbes updated their list of the 400 richest Americans, and the Google guys have climbed a few spots. Previously tied...

...at 16th (and before that, 43rd), Sergey Brin is now the 12th riches man in the world at $14.1 billion, while Larry Page is just behind him, his $14.0 billion netting the 13th spot. Last year, they had $11 billion, so the extra $3 billion moved them past Microsoft's Steve Ballmer. CEO Eric Schmidt gained $1.2 billion to jump seven spots.
