Yet the famed investor has only topped Forbes' list of the wealthiest Americans once, in 1993. AdvertisementAdvertisementWarren Buffett has been a billionaire for nearly four decades – but only topped Forbes' annual list of the 400 richest Americans on one occasion, back in 1993. He has topped the Forbes list 25 times, including for 24 consecutive years between 1994 and 2017. Individuals worth less than $10 billion topped Forbes' rankings every year between 1982 and 1994. The leader was worth below $90 billion each year until 2018, when Bezos ranked first with a $160 billion fortune.

A US court has ruled that a high school did not violate the First Amendment rights of a music teacher. John Kluge refused on religious grounds to use transgender students' preferred names. "Kluge "stigmatized" transgender students, causing them "demonstrable emotional harm," said a judge. Music teacher John Kluge refused to use the student's preferred name and pronouns due to his Christian religious beliefs, according to a civil complaint filed in 2019, which said Kluge "believes encouraging students to present themselves as the opposite sex by calling them an opposite-sex first name is sinful." Students and fellow teachers complained, and the decision was reversed, according to court filings.
Circuit Court of Appeals said. Kluge said his Christian religious beliefs barred him from complying with a school policy requiring faculty to use students' preferred names and pronouns. Federal law only requires employers to accommodate workers' religious beliefs if it would not cause them an undue hardship. The 7th Circuit on Friday disagreed, upholding an Indiana federal judge's ruling that dismissed the case. "Kluge's last-names-only practice stigmatized the transgender students and caused them demonstrable emotional harm," Circuit Judge Ilana Rovner wrote for the court.
