Money can’t buy you love – but if you are single and wealthy, it can certainly earn you a place on the list of America’s most eligible billionaires. On Valentine’s Day, Forbes published a list of America’s Most Eligible Billionaires – compiled by combing through the ranks of the Forbes 400 richest Americans. Forbes identified billionaires who are still open to finding love and presented the list in no particular order. Take a look:
Elon Musk (net worth $187.2 billion)
Jack Dorsey (net worth $4.9 billion)
Jack Dorsey, 46, belives in keeping his personal life private. Although he has been linked with several women over the years, the former Twitter CEO has never put a ring on it.
Laurene Powell Jobs (net worth $12.5 billion)
Laurene Powell Jobs is the widow of Steve Jobs. After her husband’s death in 2011, Powell Jobs has dated several men, including former Boston mayor Adrian Fenty. The mother of three is currently single, per the Forbes report.
Brian Chesky (net worth $9.1 billion)
Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky has been named among America’s most eligible billionaires. Chesky is rumoured to be dating Indian-origin artist Elissa Patel, although he has never confirmed or denied the rumours.
Melinda French Gates (net worth $6.7 billion)
Melinda French Gates and Bill Gates divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.

Ken Griffin (net worth $32.8 billion)

Perhaps the most ‘visible’ celebrity on this list is Kim Kardashian, whose separation and subsequent divorce from rapper Kanye West grabbed headlines for weeks. Forbes described 42-year-old Kardashian as a “hopeful romantic” who is now on the lookout for her next boyfriend. “I think it’s gonna be, like, scientist, neuroscientist, biochemist, doctor, attorney—that’s maybe what I envision in the future,” she said.
Tyler Perry (net worth $1 billion)
Self-made billionaire Tyler Perry has been single since his 2020 divorce. The 53-year-old director, actor and producer was most recently in the news after Prince Harry revealed in his memoir that he and Meghan Markle crashed at Perry’s Los Angeles mansion after moving to the US.
