Which the rest of us seem to be getting poorer, there is one person whose net worth keeps increasing.

Oprah is a rare gainer in both rank and net worth on the 23rd annual Forbes World Billionaires list. The media mogul jumped from spot 462 to 234 with her estimated net worth rising from $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion.

Director Steven Spielberg also held up well, his wealth steady at $3 billion (so much for that Bernie Madoff ripoff!), while rising from rank 368 to 205 on the list to tie with George Lucas, who lost $900 million over the past year.
