This year’s Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans has some notable absentees, as well as new faces, from the world of finance, but still boasts some of the biggest names in hedge funds and private equity. Financial News highlights some of the finance sector's “money mavericks” who made the top 100.

Sandy Weill, the former chairman and chief executive of Citigroup, dropped off this year's Forbes list, while Welsh-born Michael Moritz, partner at venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, returned to the rankings at 277 with a fortune of $1.4bn (€954m).
